I'm so happy I found this little pocket of paradise so close to home at Picnic Point.

Lambeth Reserve is a great little riverside park tucked away off Henry Lawson Drive at Picnic Point. It has a good size children's playground, adult's outdoor gym machines, sheltered picnic tables, new wheelchair accessible toilet amenities and lots of green open space to kick a ball or two.



But what I absolutely love about this reserve is the easy 1.3 kilometre wheelchair accessible track, which follows the footpaths and boardwalk along the Georges River's edge to Fitzpatrick Park. The views along the way are stunning and it is right outside your doorstep (if you live in south west Sydney).

It is perfect for a nice morning or afternoon stroll and ideal for families, parents with prams, or those in wheelchairs, and pets are allowed (on leash).



I started my walk from Lambeth Reserve. Follow the dirt track located just past the children's playground (keeping the river on your right), pass through the pine woodlands, you will come to a little clearing with a tiny beach, this is the start of the wooden Georges River boardwalk.

Follow the boardwalk as it traverses swamplands and reeds behind some lavish homes, you will then reach the first of two seating spots with views to Pleasure Point and Sandy Point Estate on the other side of the river. Keep following the boardwalk as it weaves in and out of the river's edge between the rocky bushlands on your left and the mangroves and river views on your right.

At the end of the boardwalk, follow the dirt track through bushlands along the river until you reach Carinya Street and Alan Ashton Reserve by the river. Further up is the boatshed which offers some light snacks and drinks, ice, fishing bait and tackle. There is also a small jetty and some boat repair services.



Keep following the footpath on Carinya Street until you reach Fitzpatrick Park carpark where there are toilet facilities. Sit on the promenade by the river and take a few moments to enjoy the views across the river to the unspoilt bushland reserve before you make your way back.



I hope you will enjoy the walk as much as I did.
