Birchgrove is one of a series of Sydney's inner west suburbs that comprise the
Municipality of Leichhardt, which was incorporated as a local government area in 1871. Each of the suburbs that comprise this eclectic municipality boast staggering views of Sydney Harbour. In the densely populated areas of the inner city, it can be difficult to find a location for outdoor recreation. As a result, the Council places a particular premium upon maintaining the green land of the locality.
Mort Bay Park sits on the coastline of Birchgrove, looking over a body of water known as Mort Bay. From the shores of the Park, it is possible to see Goat Island as well as the rest of the Birchgrove coastal region.
Apart from the public amenities of
restroom facilities, including wheelchair access for the disabled.
Leichhardt Municipal Council also puts forward the park as an optimal location for outdoor parties. There are also
basketball facilities available at Mort Bay Park.
From Sydney's CBD, it will take just under ten minutes to
drive to Birchgrove. The park is accessible from Mort and McKell Street.
