Claude’s Playground - North Narrabeen (NSW)

3 /5 Adam Jacob: Pros: A nice park, with a terrific bike/run/walk circuit around the lagoon Great water views BBQ and toilet facilities A good spot to launch a kayak, canoe or SUP Parking close to the water Cons: Parking costs $10 hr! Wakehurst Parkway is haunted 3 stars only because of the parking charges. Id give it 5 stars if the parking was half the current rate.

5 /5 Y Q: This was my first visit to the area, and its a beautiful place to spend quality time with your family. Its located right in front of the lake, offering an amazing view of the sun and the surroundings. Kids can have a great time playing in the park, and you have the option to bring your own food and have a barbecue there. The place is wonderfully peaceful and quiet. Additionally, theres a bike track and the opportunity for an approximately 8-kilometer walk.

5 /5 Teresa Toca: Visit Viva Tropica Acai when you get there its so yummy.

4 /5 Shanahan Matthew (Matt): A decent kids playground located alongside Narrabeen Lake and the bicycle track. There are also some picnic tables where you can sit. There is a shaded, fenced area with some equipment for the younger kids, and some climbing ropes and other equipment outside for the older kids. There are some pretty cool rock carvings, too. There is good parking available of up to 12 hours in the carpark, which is paid or free for Northern Beaches resident parking permit holders. There are a few public toilets available next to the carpark, but they were grotty when we were there, albeit during the Christmas break.

5 /5 Haley Flanagan: Beautiful, 8km walk. Good for biking, not for skating. Parking was $25 for 3 hours so park in residential areas if possible. Only two toilets on the circuit so be strategic.
