Why it's worth checking out

Putney Park sits on Pellisier Road at Putney, on the shores of the Parramatta River in Sydney's inner-north-west. A lovely riverside park, it's a much-loved local spot — combining grassy lawns, picnic and barbecue areas and a popular playground with a lovely waterfront setting, calm river water and a small beach, plus lovely views across the water.

The appeal is that combination of a beautiful riverside setting and great family amenity: somewhere to picnic, relax and let the kids play, with the river right there, a little beach for a paddle and walking paths along the foreshore. It's a peaceful, family-friendly waterside escape that makes the most of its lovely position on the Parramatta River.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The park is free and open year-round, but conditions, the river, parking and facilities vary, and it gets busier on warm weekends and over summer, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking sun protection — while enjoying the calm river, the playground and the lovely foreshore setting at Putney Park.
