Good for exercise. I just do a short walk string bark and batten reserves through under the bridge. Kid-friendly, Dog on leashes. Big bamboo and native plants.

Great walking track along the creek which makes you feel completely isolated from the chaos of the city. very well maintained, clean and usually not crowded at all. Suitable for short and slightly longer walks. One side connects all the way down to lane cove national park. Ideal for when you want a quick escape. Mobile coverage can be spotty, so beware and take caution.
