Glebe Foreshore Walk

Starting at Bicentennial Park and ending at Bridge Road, the Glebe Foreshore Walk is a scenic urban trail along the shores of Rozelle Bay and Blackwattle Bay. This pet-friendly walk provides you with amazing views of the Sydney skyline and harbour. Along the way, you'll pass through several parks and reserves, including Federal Park, Jubilee Park, and Blackwattle Bay Park. There is a toilet available for public use. Take a moment to admire the panoramic vistas of the Anzac Bridge, Glebe Island Bridge, and Harbour Bridge from Pope Paul VI Reserve. As you continue, you'll come across an old crane and winch, showcasing a bit of history in the Blackwattle Bay section. The walk concludes at the Glebe Rowing Club on Blackwattle Bay, providing easy access to Wentworth Park, the CBD, and the Sydney Fish Market. Dogs are permitted off-leash from Pope Paul Reserve to Ferry Road at any hour. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
