Wollstonecraft Suburb Profile

Quiet and reserved, Wollstonecraft residents like to sit back and soak up the tranquillity. Living in Wollstonecraft means enjoying a tucked-away private pocket of Sydney’s highly sought-after water frontage, while still being only four stops away on the railway line from the bustle of Sydney’s CBD. Berry Island Reserve steals the show on a foreshore that’s bordered by beautiful, connecting parks. Walking trails link the parks, with Badangi Reserve being the gateway through to Waverton and Gore Cove Reserve and on into Greenwich. The expansive green space caters to picnickers who enjoy the backdrop of Sydney Harbour. 

Although very little happens in Wollstonecraft, locals are very close to the café, dining, and bar scene of Crows Nest. But when all is said and done, living in Wollstonecraft’s biggest drawcard is the quiet leafy streets that provide a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. 

Area Features

Berry Island Reserve

Linked to the mainland by a wide grassed causeway, Berry Island Reserve boasts views over Sydney Harbour. Barbeque, picnic and playground facilities make this a popular spot for families.

Walks

There are plenty of walking trails to explore that connect the foreshore parks. Some meander up into the streets so you can take in some of the area’s architecture. Others are a short walk taking you to a lookout over the harbour.
