Weir Reserve — Attraction in Sydney

Part of the great river walk

Workin’ down in Jamisontown, Penrith, I find myself headin’ to the Weir Reserve along the Great River Walk a couple of times a week—fair dinkum, it’s my go-to spot to clear the head. There’s just somethin’ magic about strollin’ by the river, takin’ in those ripper views.

Before I kick off my walk, I usually grab a few snacks and an energy drink from a local servo. Then it’s all about hittin’ the path, takin’ it easy, and enjoyin’ the vibes. The locals are tops—friendly as anything! You’ll get a few nods, smiles, and the odd “G’day” as you go. Makes you feel right at home.

There are heaps of benches to park yourself on, perfect for soakin’ up the scenery or catchin’ up with family. And the paths? Smooth as, and well-looked after. Whether you’re out for a bit of a sweat, a snap of the river, or just a cruisy arvo, this place ticks all the boxes.

Great for a look see, you can fish for freshwater fish, swim if hot or cold, there are tables to use and some toilets if your keen, not to bad but need a bit of a clean now and than, they are cleaned daily but are a bit grubby sometimes. Great if you need to spend a penny, a number one or sit on the throne, a number two but they do have some.

No bbqs, but easy to get down to the water, good for the whole family for a fun outing to enjoy.
