Sirius Cove Reserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 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.

Wattamolla Falls
Nature preserve
👍👍 This is one of my favourite spots to go on a day trip! Perfect place to take friends and kids, pretty safe to swim. Highly recommended. It can get quite busy on sunny weekends, get there early and if you have time, try to go on weekdays.

Sydney Park Wetlands
Nature preserve
👍👍 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...

Maddens Falls
Scenic spot
👍 Look for Darkes Cider on Google maps in terms of getting there. Take the 10z trial to get to the falls. It is an easy, flat, 10min walk with a safe platform to view the falls - suitable for going with small kids or elders. We also ventured on the opposite side of the platform for a closer and differ...

Hermitage Foreshore Reserve
National park
👍👍 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...

Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden
Park
👍 It's nice, but to me it was nothing special really. It's for free and they have very good marked trails with different levels. It's basically a bush walk and you might get to see birds and flowers. There are a few waterfalls and there is a playground for kids. Everything is well maintained. If you'r...

Castle Hill BMX Track
BMX track
👍 The best in the area (even on the top five in Sydney). Please check the club’s Facebook page for racing time. Please use helmet as there is no close medical centre there. Manage to take water and food. Usually there is no light at nights. It wasn’t this much accessible, but now, thanks to Sydney met...

Middle Creek Reserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 My favourite running trail I've found in the area so far. It goes all the way round Narrabeen Lagoon, mostly shaded, about 8.5 km if you do the whole loop, SO pleasant and quiet. AND there's lots of well maintained reserves dotted along the route so plenty of clean public toilets and water bottle fi...
