James Watkinson Reserve & Gibba Park

Overlooking the James Bay Wharf, and Darling Harbour, James Watkinson Reserve is a popular local park for picnics, BBQs and children’s recreation. The naturally shaded playground contains adventure play equipment including a climbing structure and elevated platforms. BBQ and picnic facilities are located adjacent to the playground. An elevator located between the Reserve and Gibba Park provides convenient access to Pirrama Road below.

The adjacent Gibba Park is an off-leash area providing stunning views across Johnston’s Bay towards the Balmain peninsula. The park features extensive grass lawns with natural stone ledges which become a popular viewing spot to watch the New Years Eve fireworks displays.

A stone stair case and a suspended walkway lead down the escarpment from Gibba Park to Pyrmont Point Park located on Pirrama road directly below.
