Best places: Nature preserves in Sydney, Australia

Coastal headland nature reserve with a park, bushland, 1920s pool, playground, lighthouse & walks.

👍👍 Excellent place for photography at One of the best spots in Sydney with spectacular views of the city skyline opera house and the cruiseliner ships from great vantage points with park benches alongside the harbour, it's an ideal spot for watching the light shows on the harbour bridge.

3 vast historical parklands with forests & open grassy fields offering a variety of recreation.

Protected bushland with gentle waterside walking trails, caves & views of Sydney Harbour Bridge.

A 10 km coastal walking path featuring scenic, well-maintained trails with sweeping harbour views.

👍👍 Hidden gem!!! Loooove this place. So many dogs around - most off the leash. Water is super calm for a dip & it’s just super quiet (other than some barking ha) and peaceful! Some shade to sit under, there’s a bathroom here & pretty sure a BBQ too. Small parking lot but lots of street parking nearby.

👍👍 This beautiful spot is ideal for bird watching. There are benches nearby to relax or one can go for a leisurely walk. Frogs could be heard, though I couldn't spot any. It's much appreciated that such an island of beauty exists within the city. The area is dog friendly. There are a few cafes, within...

👍👍 One of the most spectacular walks in Sydney - a must for any visitor. A bush trail that snakes along the harbour coastline revealing hidden coves and beaches such as MIlk Beach and Queens Beach. Heading east, the trail effectively ends at Nielsen Park, a spot which could make a compelling case as th...

👍 Beautiful walk ,with great view , half done will make the other half soon

👍👍 New trails and a boardwalk viewing platform! Always a favorite to show out-of-towners the flying foxes.

👍👍 An easy walk with beautiful scenery, I recommend doing it just after sunrise.

👍👍 One the best small walks I’ve done in the city. Very quite and peaceful area to walk. Highly recommend this amazing walk. It takes around 1.5 hours from beginning to end.

👍👍 Fantastic walk, Sydney's best, if u like hardcore bushwalk stay left and don't cross creek. The Google map green path is not accurate and the tunks Park end is very difficult to NAVIGATE BEFORE THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE, MY ADVICE IS TO STAY HIGH JUST BELOW THE ROCKS OF PPLS PROPERTIES AND FORCE YOUR W...

👍👍 very nice weekend spot for families with kids and pets. large outdoor area for fun and sports, and plenty parking space. wonderful for cycling as well.

👍 Went there after school time, it is covered by trees and it provides a nice cool area, I wouldn't recommend swimming in the water. But it is good for fishing

👍👍 Serene bush land cared for by locals - pls keep ur dog on lead as there are small mammals, lizards & echidnas here as well as beautiful birds - see pic of king parrot family....

👍👍 Nice little getaway spot. Plenty of trees, birds and if your lucky, some wildlife. Beautiful area to walk, run, or just sit and read a book.
