NYE Bradleys Head: Athol Lawn

The whole family will enjoy New Year's Eve at Athol Lawn. Bring a picnic and enjoy a stress-free countdown to 2023 at Bradleys Head.

Athol Lawn is a wide expanse of lawn at the top of Bradleys Head in Sydney Harbour National Park. It's an ideal place for the family to enjoy New Year's Eve. There are views of the harbour skyline, but there aren't clear views of the Sydney Opera House or Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Enjoy the ambience in the park leading up to the spectacular midnight fireworks.

Some harbour and city skyline views from Athol Lawn are filtered or obstructed because of the tree canopy.

Tickets to Athol Lawn don't give you access to the Mast Precinct or the Amphitheatre at Bradleys Head.
