This is one of those great little short walks that goes to a really nice picnic spot. Going down to Bantry Bay this walk has good views and a great resting spot at the picnic area. If looking for a short walk and a picnic in the area this is the one to do.

Garigal National Park Check for park closures and fire bans

Largely following Middle Harbour Creek and stretching from Seaforth in the south to St Ives in the north Garigal National Park is hidden through Sydney's Northern suburbs. Despite how close it is to large urban centres Garigal is quite beautiful with lots of different walking and cycling tracks. For those just wishing to picnic Davidson Reserve is a great spot just next to Middle Harbour Creek, under the Roseville Bridge.
