This is Bayside’s most popular cycling and walking path.

This cycleway starts in the north at Kyeemagh, near General Holmes Drive, and follows the foreshore of Botany Bay past Brighton-Le-Sands to Captain Cook Bridge at Dolls Point in the south.

There are always plenty of people using this path, so remember to ring your bell, give plenty of room when passing and say hi to others out there enjoying the sun and sea.

Leaving Wolli Creek’s on-road cycleways you will find yourselves on Cahill Park's wide and open shared paths.

From here you need to navigate the narrow shared paths of Marsh Street in order to reach the M5, Riverine Park, and Barton Park shared paths.

Get a good look at these paths before they are upgraded over the next few years as part of Bayside Council master planning projects.

Connecting the Alexandra Canal in the west to Randwick’s Health and Education precinct, this route is ideal for riders who are more experienced with sharing the roads with vehicles. The on-road cycleway and footpaths that form this route are proposed to be upgraded and provide a safer experience for bikes, pedestrians and making the corridor much more enjoyable, even for those in cars.

Banks Avenue is one of the safer on-road routes when riding South from Centennial or Kingsford.

It will take you right into to Westfield Eastgardens, or you can turn onto Page Street’s on-road line-marked cycleway to pedal your way towards Botany and Banksmeadow. 

Turning into Swinbourne Street  you are now well into in café territory and only a quick ride from Sir Joseph Banks Park. 

• Cafes: Eastgardens, Pagewood, Botany, Banksmeadow

• Length: 4km loop

• Path type: closed space shared path

Bayside’s largest park, it contains playgrounds, pedal parks, BBQs, off-leash dog areas and an extensive asphalted shared path that takes riders through the native Banksia scrub and sand dunes that are synonymous with the Botany Bay foreshore.

The park is a great choice if you are riding with the whole family – as it’s quiet, shaded and ideal for those just starting out on two wheels.

Extending from Sir Joseph Banks Park via the Foreshore Road overpass, this shared path takes riders to the Lady Penryn bird watching estuary, the Port Botany boat ramp, and to the Mill Pond airport lookout which is an idea spot for plane watchers, or those just going about a bit of urban exploring.

This high quality separated cycleway is currently being constructed as part of the M6 motorway project.

It will connect the Cooks River at Muddy Creek at the north, to Ramsgate in the south via a dedicated cycleway along the greenway transport corridor.

This project when complete in 2024 will include a walking and cycling bridge over President Avenue and a Scarborough Ponds boardwalk.
