Sawmillers Reserve, McMahons Point

Sawmillers Reserve, McMahons Point is approximately 35-40 mins walk from Crows Nest, or 10 mins walk from North Sydney. I love this park, it has some great views of the harbor and is relatively quiet (unless you are breast feeding when a group of arrive for their boxercise class!!)

Its a hilly walk and a little hidden from the road, if you enter via Dumbarton Street, there is a steep,windy path - much easier to access with the pram then then steps at the other end of the park.

There are no bathroom facilities.

Non mobile babies: ideal, mum can eat lunch and enjoy the view or read a book. Baby has plenty to look at  with the birds, boats trees and the mid week boxercise classes.

Crawlers: lots of flat grass to explore, but you will need to keep a close watch as the park leads directly to the bay.

Toddlers: not really ideal. There is plenty of space to run around, but the park leads directly to the bay with no fence. The look out might provide some entertainment, but not for long.

Waverton Park

Waverton Park is about 35 mins from our place. It's a hilly, but a lovely walk through Wollstonecraft. There is no play ground, plenty of grass, and a walk along the old gas storage facility, which is fenced off.

Non mobile babies: ideal, mum can eat lunch and enjoy the view or read a book. Baby has plenty to look at  with the birds, kids kicking balls.

Crawlers: lots of flat grass to explore, and some fantastic tress line the edge of the park.

Toddlers: plenty of space to run around, kick a ball and have fun, but no play ground.
