Easy parking to attend the athletics field, or head off on the river walk. The walk can also be turned into a loop between the two bridges - about 5 to 6 kilometres total distance taking you along parts of the Great North Walk and through Fairyland as well.

A great walking track accessible via mowbray avian crescent. The entrance is from Mowbray road thought there is no parking and to park a car, you must either park on avian crescent or in the parking lot for the lane cove rowing club. Either way will be a long and inconvenient walk but it is nice to walk on this path.

You would never know that your 10 minutes from the Sydney CBD! Pure tranquility. Mowbray Park is only 10 minutes from the CBD, located in the Lower North Shore in Sydney. Mowbray Park is a magnificent place to visit. After an unfortunate arson attack which destroyed a significant amount of native bush and wonderful walking tracks by bushfires, Willoughby Council rebuilt the raised wooden paths (which allows access to many areas prone to the Lane Cove Rivers tidal flow and marsh lands) that allow you to see wonderful mangroves, waterfalls, spectacular sandstone formations, they also added wonderful carvings and beautifull benches from natural wood fom felled trees (from the fires) where you can sit back and take in the beauty. On occasions I have met people abseiling or taking classes, because they say "the nearest other locations are either too crowded or hours away. Come down one day, keep to the tracks (please for natures sake), take out what you bring in, but most importantly, find a nice spot, listen to the sounds and ask yourself "where would I have to go, how many hours of travelling would I need to do to experience this?" Enjoy.

Great walking track along the river. Some waterfalls appear after heavy rain.
