Berowra Valley National Park - Hornsby Heights (NSW)

Lidia Banicevic There are 2 parks very close to each other, Willo is ok but the Witara one is the best ! Loads of fun for the little ones and bigger kids.

Evelyn Hu Sports field, basketball play ground, ping-pong ball table, swing etc. Best place for exercise and for kids playing or walk dogs. Also theres best sunset view!

Kelly S Great walk. One I will happily do again. Fire trail portion can be monotonous and hot but worth it if you dont want lots of steps to climb. You dont have to take the firetrail section. You can grab a cold drink at the marina or visitor centre.

J Fong The lighthouse is located at the top of a hill. To get there, it is a walk from the car park through a beach before the start of the ascend via a grade 2 or 3 route. The water views along the way with beautiful greens in the background is truly a nice start to the hike. There are no restrictions to heading up and down from the lighthouse but it is still worth considering the path you may find easier. For me, grade 2 option was my choice up and down as it was easier although there are multiple slopes with quite a gradient. It was not difficult to catch a breath partway if the climb is a bit much or if you are not used to it. There is sufficient walking space too for people to overtake or to walk in the opposite direction. Saw folks of all ages - young and old in both directions. Some key tips: - The trees and plants provide a good shade cover when walking up and down regardless of the option grade 2 or 3 track. - During whale migration season, the top is a good viewing spot and there are clear indications of which side of the top you could see it - There are unisex toilet facilities near the lighthouse at the top. They were clean and well maintained when i visited. - There are tours at selected times to the lighthouse. - Good footwear and light clothing is important when hiking up to the lighthouse even when it is sunny and not a hot day. It is a beautiful spot to enjoy the afternoon. I spent bout 2 hours there and enjoyed savouring the views and fresh air. Loved too the variety of birds from kookaburras to lorikeets + many others. Also, a lot of natural sandstone that adds on to the natural beauty of sand, water and the bush. A place worth visiting if you havent been before.

Andrej Todorov Nice short walk, some steps to hill. lol, but not hard.

Swapnil Gupta Free parking is available on the opposite side of the beach on the street next to Woolworth metro after 12.30pm on weekends

Silvi Dion A hidden gem, quiet and peaceful, safe for swimming. Its paradise

Michael Bugelli delivers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The lookout is easy to reach and gives you a full sweep of ocean and bush. We spotted eagles soaring overhead, an unexpected highlight in an already beautiful spot.

Oliver The North Bigola Lookout is a small lookout but the view is amazing up there and it is very relaxing. There is also a small car park where probably it can fit around 5 -6 cars, people can also park on the side of the streets if the car park is full. Worth checking it out if you are around the Avalon Beach.
