Jubilee & Bicentennial Parks

Newtown & the Inner West


These two rolling, grassy parks merge together to offer some tasty views across Rozelle Bay, and of both the Anzac and Harbour Bridges. Massive fig and palm trees dot the lawns. A path leads from here along the shoreline to Blackwattle Bay, passing the Victorian Italianate Bellevue Cottage (1896) and a park built around the templelike ruins of an industrial incinerator.
