Great North Walk - Lane Cove National Park - Pennant Hills (NSW)

Natalie Costa Bir Very nice little park with play equipment (swings, slide, one rusty ride-on, and a sandpit) and a single bbq. No toilets or fence / gate. Lots of grass and shade although play equipment doesnt have a sailcloth so in summer there isnt that much protection. Its a peaceful park as the road ends in a cul de sac. The park isnt fenced but there is not much traffic. The local residents have donated lots of toys like ride-on cars and sandpit spades and diggers so toddlers will enjoy themselves. The sandpit ends up with lots of leaf matter etc in it. There are loads of birds and lizards and the occasional brush turkey.

Jack Leung Fantastic picnic area and is very well equipped for BBQs and gatherings. Our host booked in advance. Swooping kookaburras terrorising us for our food adds a certain flair to the experience.

Nick Tremewan Great spot to check out the coast line and surf breaks on both sides. Head up there for great sunrises and sunsets.

Alex N Pretty nice, plenty play ground, $8 parking for the whole day. Need to book

Gulshan Madan A beautiful and enchanting place to visit, especially for families with children. The park is home to a wide variety of butterflies, and when they apply a special nectar on your hands, you may find honey butterflies gently landing on you—it’s a magical experience! It’s truly a unique and immersive environment where children lose track of time and don’t want to leave. The joy of watching butterflies up close and even having them rest on your hands creates memories that last a lifetime. There are two Maze one is mirror maze and other wooden open to sky, Italian style. While the overall experience is delightful, the entry fee is on the higher side, which may be a consideration for some. However, there is a café inside where you can grab a bite and relax, making it a pleasant spot to spend a few hours. Perfect for a weekend outing, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a peaceful, colorful escape.

Kate Branch Such a beautiful spot. Take a nice walk on the promenade and look out for the cute little characters by famous Australian illustrators like May Gibbs. You’ll see the Gumnut babies, the Banksia man and many more. Make sure you finish off on the wharf overlooking the beautiful Bay.

Junker Emely super relaxing

Andrew Leung It actually is only 3.5 but trying to counteract the 1 star ratings. Great audio visual Immersive experience, story extremely weak but animation and music pretty spectacular
