Lane Cove Area

Just six kilometres from Sydney’s CBD, Lane Cove offers leafy suburbia and bushland pockets along the Lane Cove River. The national park of the same name provides walking trails, picnic areas and canoe hire, while the village itself has cafés and community events. Families use the extensive playgrounds and sports fields, and the council runs sustainability initiatives and bushcare groups. Locals wander sections of the Great North Walk, stumbling upon whimsical fairy gardens created by neighbours, and know of a natural swimming hole downstream where locals cool off in summer shaded by casuarinas.
