Shared Bike and Walking Path at Bicentennial Reserve
A wide bike and pedestrian path runs through Bicentennial Reserve and is one of Willoughby's major shared-use paths. The path is flat and links the reserve to Artarmon Reserve and Flat Rock Gully, so it can carry a longer walk or ride between the two. A mural by Shane Haurama, completed in 2007, sits beside the path and has three sections on the relationship between Indigenous people and the Flat Rock Gully landscape.
