Davidson Park
Northern Beaches, NSW
Garigal's family picnic precinct on Middle Harbour at Roseville Bridge — barbecues, boat ramp and the start of Governor Phillip Walk.
About this place
Davidson Park is the only Garigal National Park site with a vehicle entry fee ($8) and the one locals treat as a full-day picnic. Lawns, tables and barbecues sit on Middle Harbour just east of Roseville Bridge, with a boat ramp and swimming in calm water (check conditions). Lyrebird track leaves the northern end toward Carroll Creek, Governor Phillip Walk and Stepping Stone Crossing. Gates 6am-6pm (8pm daylight saving). It is the civilised way to start a Garigal bush day without the Seaforth Oval carpark scramble.
Access & getting there
Travel southwest along Warringah Road from Forestville and take the Healey Way exit on the northeast side of Roseville Bridge. $8 per vehicle. Gates 6am-6pm (8pm DST).
Healey Way, Forestville NSW 2087 (off Warringah Rd at Roseville Bridge)
