Picnic Locations

Mother and son picnic on Cockatoo Island

You'll find some spectacular picnic locations on our harbourside lands. Pack the hamper, grab the picnic rug and sit back and enjoy the view. Some of our recommendations are:

Headland Park

There are panoramic views from the sandstone plateau at Georges Heights overlooking Sydney Harbour and The Heads. Two free electric barbecues are located in the Artist?s Precinct, not far from the Barn Cafe.

Chowder Bay

Situate your picnic just metres from the beach at picturesque Chowder Bay. Plunge into the clear marine waters or picnic on the lawn under the poinsettias at Clifton Gardens.

Cockatoo Island

For a picnic with a difference, catch a ferry to Cockatoo Island.
