Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Sydney Harbour National Park

Media release: 28 September 2015

Sydney Harbour National Park is set to go off with a bang this New Year’s Eve as tickets go on sale today for a number of unique harbour-side locations including Clark Island, Shark Island, Bradleys Head and Nielsen Park.

Deputy Chief Executive, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Mark Peacock said these venues, set amongst Sydney’s bushland and heritage sites, are special places to ring in the New Year.

“Celebrating New Year’s Eve on the harbour captures the very essence of Sydney and this year we’re hosting a range of events to attract visitors into our waterfront Parks,” Mr Peacock said.

“Tickets to the National Parks and Wildlife Service premier event, The Garden Party at Clark Island, have been made more affordable for visitors wanting a once-in-a-lifetime experience with uninterrupted views of the harbour and fireworks display.

“This year Shark Island will be transformed into a Fiesta-style celebration where guests will be treated to a fun, themed event with South American-inspired food, live music and DJs.

“Those attending the ever-popular Bradleys Head can look forward to a change in entertainment and facilities so families can enjoy a safe, child-friendly and alcohol free evening.

“The price of 1,500 tickets to Bradleys Head Mast Precinct have been reduced this year, offering a more affordable option for those wanting to spend New Year’s Eve on the Harbour.

“Tickets to Bradleys Head Amphitheatre are also available, offering what’s probably the best view of the Opera House, Bridge and city skyline from within a bushland setting.

“Many Sydney Harbour National Park venues have improved accessibility and for the first time wheelchair accessible viewing areas are offered at Goat Island, Bradleys Head (Mast Precinct) and Nielsen Park.

“Ticketing for sites will keep crowd numbers within comfortable and safe limits, as well as providing a range of options for people looking for different experiences.

“If you’re thinking of heading to one of the spectacular harbour side spaces or islands of Sydney Harbour National Park this New Year’s Eve, we encourage you to book your tickets as early as possible to avoid disappointment,” Mr Peacock said.
