Elkington Park

Elkington Park in Balmain is one of Sydney’s most historic parks and a beautiful destination for outdoor lovers looking to escape the concrete jungle.

The park is located on the Balmain foreshore and provides some of the best views of the surrounding region, with many shaded areas for unwinding or a picnic.

One of the places that you must visit while at the park is the band rotunda, a beautiful addition to the park. Built in 1963, the rotunda has stood the test of time and provides shelter in the case of extreme weather.

White Horse Point is another must-visit part of the park. With a vantage point from which you can enjoy spectacular views of the park, it is easy to see why this is a preferred wedding and photography destination. Plenty of walking trails are available, which is a great way to explore the park’s flora and fauna. Best of all, they are suitable for strollers, too, so visiting families are also well taken care of.

There is also a playground at Elkington Park, so the little ones can expend some energy as parents relax to the sounds of chirping birds in the background. In addition to the climbing structure, there is also an enclosed slide and a dual set of swings near the fence. This shaded play area provides a perfect environment out of the sun. A picnic table is conveniently located close to the shaded area, giving parents a place to unwind.

Other amenities available at the park include toilets, a drinking fountain, and lookout points scattered throughout.

Elkington Park in Balmain is a family-friendly attraction open to people of all ages. Street parking is available on White Street, and the nearest ferry is just 15 minutes away.
