    With a park it has ideal Vantage Points to view the spectacular Sydney Harbour Bridge, opera house and city skyline, it's beautiful all year round especially during the Vivid lights festival during winter, it really makes for a awesome place for photography.

    A great location looking out to the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park, the Opera House as well as the city all in one Panoramic view. Location is ideal for a picnic if the weather is favourable, parking can be a problem on the weekend and toilets are on site. Does attract some human grubs from Sydney’s west whom don’t clean after themselves unfortunately.

    Great view of city. We came here at dust till night to see sunset and city light. Many people came here to celebrate with opera House and harbour Bridge on picnic

    A short walk from Henry Lawson Reserve is a quieter corner that is just as scenic and equally as lovely. Views are a worth a million bucks here but its free of charge to visit so feel like a priceless guest next time you are here! Ferry is the best way to get here so book your ticket to your best Sunday in Sydney this side of the Harbour Bridge!

    Stunning spot to see Sydney and the harbour. Take a ferry for a great affordable tour of Sydney! In summer swim right near the ferry wharf at Watson's Bay or Manly

    Nice view of Harbour bridge and Opera house together from here. Saw few people coming for wedding shots as well. Open ground to set up picnic. Children's play area in the corner along with toilets. Parking seems pretty packed though. Buses also comes around so that's a plus. Must visit if you are in the area.

  • 4/5 safyurek 7 months ago on Google
    Quite silent point. Incredible Sydney Landmark views... Suitable for walking, rest, calm, reading or etc. Park issues as always... looking around for more and cheap parking areas

    The perfect picnic area. The area can get busy on weekends however during the week it is very empty. Sunny days coming into summer are lovely here. You can see the Harbour bridge and Opera House with full view. To get here you can catch the bus down to blues point reserve or take a short walk down here. There is also the Ferry that travels here. It is great to travel from here to the city on a Ferry with a wonderful under bridge view.

    Serene spot within a stone’s throw of the CBD and Sydney North. Watch the ferries, peer under the Sydney Harbour Bridge to see the Opera House and, in the distance, naval ships docked at Woolloomooloo. Turn your gaze slightly to the left and you’re looking at Luna Park - best viewed around dusk.

    Lovely spot to just sit and enjoy the view of the Harbour Bridge. Very peaceful to walk around. Some stairs take you to a hill with benches that you can sit and take it all in, read a book or just contemplate life and the views.

    A great lookout. There's always a spot to park up too. I like that it's quite quiet at night. Though there was one night where there were a bunch of youngsters shooting up fireworks.

    Went here to get views of vivid and wasn’t disappointed at all. Although it can be a bit difficult to get to without a car, I found beautiful views of the harbour bridge and almost no crowd. An excellent place for taking photos, plenty of space for a tripod and lets you take your time without feeling rushed

    Blues Point reserve has recently been renovated with parking and extra spaces which makes it a great and very accessible scenic point for Opera House and Harbour Bridge views. Also it's a good picnic and dog friendly park with a restroom, and behind this is a small trail giving beautiful sunset views towards Pyrmont and coal loader.

    Great point to see fireworks from. Ticket was free but you need to book it well advance(2-3month) gates open at 5pm but better get there early as people start queuing by midday. We got there and got in queue around 3 pm and still got pretty decent spot. No alcohol zone for fireworks and had great time as we brought food and games to pass time.

    Splendid views of the Sydney harbour and Opera house. Perfect place for spending your summer mornings and soaking in the sun. Special mention to Echo Picnic and team who set up Halloween photo booth at Blues Point reserve on 29th and 30th Oct. It was so much fun!

  • 5/5 Ka N. 8 months ago on Google
    Day or night, always beautiful. It is a great place hangout with friends, get cozy with your loved one, bring your kids or you just want to find the meaning of life. I enjoy this place every time, especially for the beautiful sunrise or enjoying the beautiful city night view. There is a short walk that you could and there are some beautiful trees around, which you could even hug to ground your body and feel relaxed. You could watch the harbour and see all those beautiful boats and any ship that is coming into the harbour. It is also a really beautiful place for you to go fishing.

    This park is all about the views. Expansive water level sights to the harbour bridge and opera house. The park is small and clings to the water. Popular for weddings with a view! There is a toilet and also a nice small kids play area. Best way to get here is by ferry and walk 5 mins around the shoreline.

    Just stopped in down there for a look at the Sydney Harbour Bridge & Opera House.. great angle. Just some local park works going on fencing in the park itself at 23 Nov 2019. Would have been great to walk around the point

    Blues Point in Sydney - where the city's rhythm meets the harbor's blues. As you gaze out, the Sydney Harbour Bridge stands tall and proud, while the Opera House strikes a pose that's nothing short of iconic. The water sparkles like a sapphire, and the skyline creates a mesmerizing backdrop. It's a view that feels like a symphony for the eyes—definitely worth a visit, even if just to witness the epic battle of the blues!

  • 4/5 olif g. 3 years ago on Google
    Spectacular views of the city icons...

  • 5/5 Basit H. 8 months ago on Google
    Very good view. Calming place to enjoy the view of Harbour Bridge and the Opera house!

  • 5/5 Laramy D. 4 years ago on Google
    On Sydney Harbour. What more needs to be said? (Well of course, it'd be much better with a million more apartments and traffic with several hectares of parking. But you can't have everything i guess. Shouldn't be too long before developers and councils synergise to ruin the whole peninsula though, for all of human posterity).

  • 5/5 John k. 6 months ago on Google
    There were a number of wedding proposals going on when I was here (fancy with many red roses 🌹) and wedding receptions Sydney has many great Harbour viewpoints, but the view from Blues Point Reserve in McMahons Point is arguably the best. Nowhere else do you get a full frontal, point blank, uninterrupted view of every single one of Sydney Harbour's jewels, from the Opera House through to the ANZAC Bridge in the west. And the peaceful, little visited village of McMahons Point is a sure better place to enjoy the harbour than jostling with the tourists in Kirribilli or The Rocks. Despite the world-class views, on any given day you'll more or less have the place to yourself. A short stroll from the ferry terminal will bring you to the park where there is plenty of green grass and shaded areas to set your picnic out. There is even a tiny beach if you are brave enough to face the waters of the inner harbour. Facilities are scarce, although there is a great playground for the kids and a toilet block.!!

  • 5/5 Jigar J. 9 months ago on Google
    Peaceful place to get the complete view of Sydney CBD late hours You can see the city lit up in lights Its just picture perfect where you can see Harbour Bridge along with Opera house with City lights in the background Make sure you take a jacket as it can be windy sometimes

  • 4/5 Zara M. 3 years ago on Google
    It was a beautiful place and couples tend to visit it mainly. However, there is limited parking.

  • 5/5 OakTree W. 1 year ago on Google
    Our team had the opportunity to photograph a recent wedding at the blues point reserve! The view are truly amazing!

  • 4/5 John Z. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful vantage point to Harbor Bridge and Opera House. Not many parking space is the only downside.

  • 5/5 Kavish B. 10 months ago on Google
    Really great views of Harbour Bridge especially on Vivid nights. Would definitely visit again around New Years.

  • 5/5 Toni K. 8 months ago on Google
    Great spot for morning exercise. Harbour bridge, opera house and CBD skyline as backdrop.

  • 5/5 Levi D. 9 months ago on Google
    A great location to sit back and watch the sky warm up as the sun sets. There’s limited parking as shown in one of the photos, but if you’re able to walk 100 or more metres, you’ll be okay and can park on the street. I went on a Wednesday afternoon and found that it wasn’t crowded at all, and instead quiet relaxing.

  • 5/5 Hardy A. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s stunning spot an incredible view of the Sydney harbour and the opera house. Fairly busy at night time to take photos. Parking can be a big challenging however people double parked and created a pop up car park at the end of the street and then There were plenty spot to park illegally. But if you get a parking fine it’s well worth it :)

  • 5/5 Greg P. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing sunrise and sunset views of the bridge and opera house. Quiet street and nice little park.

  • 4/5 Pushkar G. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to hangout with your loved one or with family n kids. Advisable to visit in the evening as the place is open and has no cover to protect from sunlight. There are swings and few play items for kids. You can also consider a small snack cum camping break here, however, tents are not permitted to setup. The car park is available on roadside on the road approaching this place. The car park is free after 6pm till 8.30 am next morning. Other times, its P2. The place offers a scenic view of the Sydney Harbour, The Opera House, The Harbour Bridge and the commercial buildings in Sydney CBD. The place is well connected by trains, buses and ferries as well. A must visit in Sydney !

  • 5/5 Louis L. 7 months ago on Google
    Great scenic location to bring friends touring from overseas, looking out to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Lots of open space for kids to run around and grassy areas to have a picnic. Also has a playground area that was well kept.

  • 5/5 6 months ago on Google
    Nice place to hear the waves with trees, if you go round a little then will find a less crowded calm place to watch the sunset

  • 5/5 Clint A. 5 months ago on Google
    It's a beautiful and gorgeous view and spot to take some photos, be it with family and friends or for a small car meet spot. The lighting at night from the harbour bridge and the opera house just brings everything in perspective of how beautiful the nights can be from that spot

  • 5/5 Walking and C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location to see the bridge. I have visited a number of times and the vibe is always different to other parts of Sydney. Great spot to sit and contemplate life. Or sit and watch the events and passing boats on the harbour. It's very close to the city of course but has a peaceful feel. A sunny day is a great time of day. Evening is as well.

    An amazing spot for uninterrupted views of the harbour bridge and city. Not too crowded with plenty of space. Near the water so you get a nice ocean view - walkable distance from Milsons Point station if you can’t drive. Unfortunately there is a Metro station being your next to it, enjoy the calm and quiet while it lasts!

  • 4/5 Alana 2 years ago on Google
    An awesome dog-friendly park with an incredible view of Sydney harbour. Take your dog to the top level, as there can be leftover fishing hooks/line on the lower levels to watch out for. Great picnic location with beautiful sunsets

  • 5/5 Matthew Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite possibly my favourite place on earth. The newly refurbished Blues Point is more beautiful than ever. I love taking it all in here - the city skyline, opera house and of course the magnificent harbour bridge and harbour. It's the perfect place to just sit, be calm and enjoy a slice of unquestionable grandeur.

  • 5/5 charanya s. 2 years ago on Google
    The Blues point reserve is an amazing spot with a view. Its great for kids as there is a small park with toilet facilities. It is pet friendly as well. Free street side Parking is also available right next to it or you could walk up from the nearest train or tram station / bus stand. Ample eateries near by for a meal. It is a great spot for a quick fishing expedition as well. The views are great through the day and especially night offering glimpses of the often overlooked Sydney skyline in panaroma with the ferries, the Harbour bridge and the opera house. Great for a quick visit in all seasons/ times.
