Access

Warriewood Wetland is located in the northern Sydney area. The walk begins and ends at Katoa Park where there is a small playground, barbecues, picnic tables and (limited) offstreet parking. The 2.4 km walkway has long boardwalks running over the wetlands. Dogs are prohibited from the boardwalk due to the sensitive environment. Bikes are prohibited from the boardwalk because of the narrow nature of the walkways. Click on the P in the map for directions of coordinates to the parking area.
