The Kangaroo Point Boardwalk – a spectacular one-kilometre elevated path through untouched mangroves and bushland in the Hornsby Shire– was officially opened earlier this year creating a unique eco-tourism destination just over an hour from Sydney’s CBD.
This immersive experience, designed to provide walkers and cyclists with a safe and accessible connection along the foreshore between Kangaroo Point and Seymours Creek in Brooklyn, offers panoramic river views, tranquil rest areas, and an unforgettable escape into nature.
The boardwalk was constructed with a low-impact, elevated design to carefully protect the surrounding saltmarsh, mangroves and intertidal environment. Along the way, shaded rest areas and benches invite walkers and riders to pause, take in sweeping river views, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
“This Kangaroo Point Boardwalk will take you on a journey through one of Sydney’s most spectacular, natural settings,” said Hornsby Shire Mayor Warren Waddell.
“It’s perfect for weekend cyclists, bushwalkers, families on an outdoor adventure, or anyone wanting to spend the day exploring Brooklyn’s cafes, scenic walks or nearby Dangar Island. The Kangaroo Point Boardwalk will be a memorable highlight of your day out.”
The boardwalk was made possible through a funding grant of $5.07 million from Transport for NSW’s Get NSW Active program, and $307,500 from the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure’s Metropolitan Greenspace Program, as well as Hornsby Shire Council funding.
Delivered by Council, the boardwalk is the final stage of a three-kilometre continuous walking and cycling route from Baden Powell Avenue in Brooklyn village to Kangaroo Point.
