The Parramatta to Sydney Foreshore Link
A new scenic walking track linking Parramatta Park to the iconic Sydney Opera House promises to be a game-changer for residents in Western Sydney

Sydneysiders and tourists will be able to safely walk and ride bikes along Sydney’s iconic foreshore, enjoy the outdoors, showcase local Aboriginal cultures and discover the natural beauty and food scene along the path.
