Nice ideas here for city gardens. So good the way this place has been preserved & the history honoured. Small display of old relics, photos, models and information too. Such a pretty spot on the harbour too with nice walks. So glad I came across this place!

The Coal Loader is a multi-purpose centre located in Waverton, not far from the city area of North Sydney.

There are many things to do and different areas to explore here. The park has multiple levels and a number of walking tracks. There are community garden beds growing a range of fruit, vegetables, and herbs.

The area is popular for picnics and has a made from scratch cafe. There is a big grass area with wonderful views and ample shade. The park has a community hall and some historic elements to it.

I found the park to be a really peaceful and relaxing place to explore and would recommend visiting!

A terrific stop on our day trip around the harbour area. We actually stumbled here on accident after walking through Waverton and what a beautiful place it was!

There was an art exhibition being held near the entrance of the facility, however we arrived last minute so I did not take many photos.

The facility itself is fantastic. Community gardens, art displays, historical monuments, small function rooms, public bathrooms, room to run around - what doesn't it have??

There really is a lot of art installations to check out all throughout the facility, so make sure to have a good walk around on all 3 main levels. There is also a level to visit the chickens! Bathrooms are pretty alright too.

Overall, a wonderful community space to visit during a date, a hangout spot for friends or just for a nice escape!
