About Tunks Park

Sports Fields at Tunks Park

Tunks Park has three sports fields, named Tunks 1, 2 and 3, that are used for cricket, football, soccer, training, school sport and carnivals. Clubs and schools book the fields for training sessions and carnivals through North Sydney Council. The fields sit within a park that runs from the Long Bay foreshore to Flat Rock Gully Reserve, and a bushland edge and foreshore frame them.

Bushland and Foreshore at Tunks Park

Tunks Park is a bushland reserve as well as a sports ground, with informal walking tracks through its bushland. The park runs from the Long Bay foreshore west under the century-old Cammeray Suspension Bridge to Flat Rock Gully Reserve. Its playing fields are bordered by large areas of bushland and a lively foreshore, and the council describes the park as one of its largest and a popular Cammeray spot.

Visitor tips for Tunks Park

  • โœ“In wet weather, check the fields before you go: the council inspects them at 7am and 2pm and takes moisture readings on Tuesdays and Fridays to decide whether to open or close them.
  • โœ“Bring a leash for a dog, because dogs must be leashed in the bushland and cannot go on the sports fields during organised games.
