Experiences at Woolwich Dock and Parklands

Woolwich Dock is a fascinating maritime precinct steeped in heritage. The 300-metre cut sandstone dock is a feature of the area. The adjacent Woolwich Lookout, Goat Paddock and Horse Paddock parklands offer lovely areas to stroll or have a picnic. The area is serene and peaceful, perfect for sitting at the "Moocooboola", the meeting point of the Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers.

Harbour Trust tenants Murlan-Noakes operate a boatbuilding and repair business in the dock and the theatre of boats being lifted in and out of the water is a treat if you're passing at the right time.

Walks and self-guided tours

A range of walks link the dock and adjacent parklands at Woolwich. These walks also link to Kelly's Bush and the Sydney Coastal Walk.
