Sydney’s best picnic spot: Barangaroo Reserve
There are sandstone coves looking out toward the harbour bridge, waterfront lawns shaded by native trees and rolling green spaces with elevated views. Getting here is easy - the only hard part is choosing a spot!
Picnics in Barangaroo Reserve
Barangaroo Reserve is Sydney’s newest waterfront park, providing a new perspective of the harbour. Alcohol is allowed in the reserve so you can BYO drinks, food and picnic blanket. On hot days bring shade or find a cool spot underneath one of our beautiful native trees throughout the Reserve.
