Upper McKell Park

Quite and nice close to perfect place for a small picnic time. Climb down the hill and do fishing or swimming also few other water spots

Not so busy but small. Parking is always full as there are many boat owners that park their car in the same car park than visitors. A few picnic tables, toilets and a small swimming pool. Lots of people go there for fishing in the evening. Nice short walk around the edge of the water to the other side with more boats.

It was small little corner of haven secluded between the ku ring gai national park trails. Public boat ramp, toilets ,bar b ques, kids playground, everything you can ask for. Nice place to spend a day with family and friends, kids enjoyed every bit of it. Plenty of parking. Fishing and lazing in the sun was great.. highly recommended

Excellent water views and a mini picnic area. Gets busy usually on weekends and school holidays. Perfect location to get a dip in the river, and the spot is well secured for kids to freely swim in the water. However limited picnic table ( I can spot only #4). This location can be accessed by sydney trains i.e. new castle line ( Hawkesbury river station ). Also, the ferry service next to Riverside postman operates on hourly service timetable, and best is one can use opal card / Card payment. This is an great advantage for those who love to spend a round trip between Brooklyn ferry wharf and Islands (Dangar & Wobby).

I loved Brooklyn. We stopped on our way from Sydney to central coast and I really appreciate this short break. Cute small town with a nice walk close of the river. You walk all the way around which is perfect. Views are splendid and you can easily spot pelicans.
