Wentworth Point, a revitalised waterfront suburb on the Parramatta River, blends modern living with easy access to Sydney Olympic Park and the natural beauty of the Homebush Bay area. Once an industrial site, it's now a sleek, family-friendly neighbourhood with a marina, parks, and a buzzing café scene. Its position on the water and proximity to major attractions make it a convenient base for exploring western Sydney.
Highlights & What to See
- Marina & Waterfront Walk: Stroll along the boardwalk, watch boats bob in the marina, and soak up river views – perfect for a morning coffee or sunset wander.
- Bennelong Park: This large, modern park features a flying fox, playground, and picnic areas with sweeping water vistas; great for families.

Suggested Time to Spend
Half a day is enough to explore Wentworth Point’s core – wander the marina, enjoy a meal, and visit Bennelong Park. To combine with Sydney Olympic Park or Bicentennial Park, allow a full day. Early risers can catch a spectacular sunrise over the river, while evening visitors enjoy the glittering city skyline from the waterfront.
