"A lovely place to walk. My dog also gives it 5 stars he loves the walk and the smells of the bush!"
"A lovely little nature space to walk through. Even better in the rain. There are some fun hidden decorations as well as beautiful natural flora and fauna. My dog doesn’t seem to like it though."
"After googling “Randwick parks” I was delightfully led to this lovely little nature walk surrounded by nothing but trees, bugs, a wooden path, and lovely ambience. Unfortunately it was pretty hot that day so my partner and I were sweating our buttocks off. It was a pretty nice walk for sure, and there were lots of places where you could just pause and stare at for a moment and continue with the journey. Definitely a must for nature lovers. The wooden path is mostly narrow, where it could fit 2 people if they turned over to their sides, but there are also a few resting spots with benches and a wider space for those who want to chill out for a bit."
"The best place to be. Such a peaceful park with beautiful energy of a rain forest. Walking through the reserve, focusing on the birds will help you to reconnect with yourself and your true nature. Enjoy your moment here and now."
"An amazing nature reserve in the heart of Randwick. Boardwalk stretches right through the reserve and is in excellent condition. The sounds of the trees and the river soothe and rejuvenate and I highly recommend going here to visit, to study or just to enjoy."
