Glebe Foreshore Parks

The Glebe Foreshore is a large area with lots of sub-parks, so let's do a tour!

Locals call 'The Glebe Foreshore' the pedestrian/bike trail and surrounding green areas from the Crescent (at Swadlings Lumber) all the way to Pyrmont Bridge Rd (next to Blackwattle Bay Secondary School).

The main park areas are: Federal Park (closes to the Crescent), Jubilee Park (containing the oval) and Bicentennial Park (along the water).

🚲 This is a fantastic place for walking and biking. Note that as will all shared paths, the speed limit is 10k/hr.

🌭 There are plenty of grassy beautiful spots with water views for a picnic. There are BBQ facilities at Federal Park.

🚻 There are public toilets at Federal Park (under the light rail arch), 2 at Jubilee Park (next to the oval) and one next to the Glebe Ferry stop. They are all marked on Google Maps.

🍭 The best playground is Federal Park, which has equipment for little kids (sand pit, swings) and big kids (climbing, large slide). There is a smaller playground at Jubilee Park that's best suited for smaller kids.

🐕 This is a great area for dogs! There is an off-leash area in Federal Park, follow the signs. You'll spot numerous fellow dog lovers along the whole path!

🎣 Yes, people fish in the water. DO NOT eat anything that comes out! This area had heavy industry and the levels of mercury and heavy metals make fish from here unsafe to eat.

🚈 There are light rail stops at the start (Roselle Bay), Jubilee Park and Glebe (just past the end). There's a ferry smack in the middle at Glebe that takes you to Barangaroo.

🦪 Do you see the oysters growing along the sea wall? Don't eat them. These have been installed to help clean the water. They're doing a great job.

🛶 The water is a popular spot for kayaking and rowing. Most kayakers enter at the sandy spot to the right of the 'Roselle Bay Pontoon'. The Glebe Rowing Club is for the rowers.

This is a beautiful area of Sydney, so enjoy!
