Narrabeen Lagoon Multi-Use Trail

The Narrabeen Lagoon Multi-use Trail Project involves designing and constructing 2.5km of trail and pedestrian/cyclist bridge infrastructure between Deep Creek and South Creek (see location map or map with approximate distances). This project will complete the final links of the existing trail network along the foreshores of the northern beaches largest coastal lagoon.

Update - May 2012

Negotiations with the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation and the Cromer Golf Club are progressing and a report on the outcomes of these negotiations is scheduled to be presented to Council later this year (Stage 2B). 

The Middle Creek Reserve upgrades (Stage 2A) are well underway and are on track for completion in July 2012. The Reserve will remain closed for use until this time.
