Wentworth Common

This is such a great place for a walk in the bush, which we discovered totally by chance. We had originally intended to go to the shipwreck lookout but since we couldn't find it we came here. Since it was a week day there were hardly any people around so we enjoyed our walk. A great place to bring kids over, have a picnic or BBQ or do some bird watching.

Great for kids and BBQ Big frog and a lizard will welcome you 🙀😊 There are two separate play grounds. One with 4 individual swings and a sandy floor for kids to play. Water tap is there for cleaning. And another one with zip-line and more. There are few electric bbq spots for preparing the food for the day. Toilets are clean and drinking water fountain are also available. Great park to spend a day with family.

Wentworth Common is a designer ecosystem built on manufactured soils in the 1990s following site remediation, and hand-planted with native grasses, groundcovers, shrubs, trees and wetland plants. Wentworth Common now provides important habitat for the Green and Golden Bell Frog, as well as a rich diversity of insectivorous bats, birds, reptiles, frogs and invertebrates. The habitats of Wentworth Common are well on the way to becoming resilient urban ecosystems that will endure into the next century and beyond. The newly constructed Wentworth Common and Bay Marker in 2000 Olympic Co-ordination Authority A living grassland The Bay Marker is enveloped by a sea of Blady Grass (Imperata cylindrica). This tall perennial grass grows in dense clumps, flowering with silky white seed heads between January and May. Blady Grass is a great soil stabiliser and provides habitat for wildlife. Listen to the calls of male Golden-headed Cisticola in spring, Breeding males may be seen singing from tall strands of grass or performing display flights high above the grassland before diving back down into the long grass. The circular pathway you took to reach the top is a perfect spot for sunbathing lizards during spring and summer, so please watch your step. The rocky retaining wall contains nooks and crannies for these shy lizards to retreat to if they feel threatened.

I absolutely adore this park. So much to do and walk around. Great park for kids and a cool spiral eco-formation that you can walk up. Love this park.

This is a big recreational park with playground, picnic and barbecue area and its own car park. It's on the foothill of the Bay Marker of Wentworth Point. My friends and I normally walk here from Sydney Olympic Park or sometimes bicycle here as it's not too far. There's plenty of barbecue space available with playgrounds for the young ones or the young at heart. It is a great place for the whole family.
