Newington Nature Reserve
This walk begins with a stroll along the Parramatta River and ends in an old armory. It’s an easy stroll, suitable for families with children who will love the nearby playground up the hill in Blaxland Riverside Park.
Kurnell Foreshore Walk
This walk begins and ends on the edge of Kamay Botany Bay National Park. The trail follows the Burrawang Walk and continues along the Kurnell foreshore to Bonna Point Reserve before returning to the start.
Bennelong to Barangaroo
The walk from Bennelong Point to Barangaroo is not a long one but it’s a good one. And it dips into the history of early Sydney and the people who lend their names to the points at either end.
Bondi to Watsons Bay
This walk is delightful and the trail surprisingly quiet, especially midweek. It comprises the first leg of the recently concluded and increasingly popular Bondi to Manly walk.
Balls Head & Berry Island
Like most harbourside walks, the views you get on this one are amazing. Unlike others though, this one feels like a real bushwalk.
Cremorne Point Reserve
If you’ve only got a little time to spare but need a quick injection of clean, green air and water views, you’ll love this walk around Cremorne Point. The path extends almost the entire length of the foreshore and takes about an hour to complete at a regular pace.
The Basin Track
This is a return trip. You can go down and back up in 90 minutes or so but much better to combine it with a picnic or overnight stay.
