Barangaroo Reserve
A headland park transformed from a former container terminal, where over 10,000 sandstone blocks form a recreated original coastline, with views of the Harbour Bridge and sunsets.
Barangaroo Reserve opened in 2015 on the site of a former container terminal. During the redevelopment, over 10,000 sandstone blocks were excavated from the site and reassembled into the original headland coastline as it appeared before 1836. Tens of thousands of native plants were also planted. It is a showcase of Sydney's urban renewal. Along the waterfront promenade you get close-up views of the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park and the North Shore, especially lovely at sunset. The park is named after Barangaroo, an Indigenous woman leader, and offers Indigenous cultural tours. The newer Barangaroo precinct to the south is home to restaurants and bars. You can walk from here all the way to Darling Harbour, or head north through The Rocks to Circular Quay.
