Hotels near Barangaroo Reserve

Barangaroo Reserve is a 6-hectare headland park built on a former container terminal at the northwestern tip of the CBD. Opened in 2015, it was designed to recreate the natural sandstone shoreline that existed before European settlement. The park uses over 10,000 sandstone blocks quarried from the original site and is planted entirely with native species. It connects to Barangaroo South, a waterfront dining and commercial precinct with restaurants, bars, and the Cutaway gallery space (a converted underground sandstone chamber).

The park offers harbour views, Aboriginal cultural interpretation signs, and a foreshore walking path that links to The Rocks and Darling Harbour. The Stargazer Lawn at the park's highest point is the best spot for watching harbour sunset. Admission is free and the park is open 24 hours.

Pro Tip: Walk from Barangaroo Reserve south along the waterfront to Darling Harbour - the 2 km path passes under the Harbour Bridge and through the Barangaroo dining precinct, making for an excellent post-dinner evening stroll.
