Bay Run path and lighting upgrade

The GreenWay is a six-kilometre environmental, walking and cycling corridor linking the Cooks River at Earlwood with the Parramatta River at Iron Cove and the Bay Run.

The Cooks to Cove GreenWay Masterplan identifies the Bay Run as the northern gateway to the GreenWay. The Bay Run path and lighting upgrades were completed in September 2023.

The Bay Run path and lighting upgrade incorporates civil, landscape, lighting and electrical works from UTS Haberfield Rowing Club to Lilyfield Road through Richard Murden Reserve. The upgrade also includes lighting and electrical works through Leichhardt Park and similar upgrades from King George Park to the Iron Cove Bridge.

The works include:

  • Modifications to the forecourt and carpark at the UTS Haberfield Rowing Club
  • Upgraded path from UTS Haberfield Rowing Club to the Lilyfield Road Bridge, including 2.4m wide pedestrian path and 2.4m wide cycle path with visual separation
  • 4.5m wide ramp up to the Lilyfield Road Bridge
  • 3.5m wide ramp from the Lilyfield Road Bridge down to the GreenWay path and Richard Murden Reserve
  • Upgraded path along the Lilyfield Road Bridge, including separated 2.5m wide pedestrian path and 2.7m wide cycle path, plus landscaping, exercise equipment, furniture, shelter and lighting
  • Conversion of the end of Lilyfield Road into a shared zone
  • Upgrade of lighting along the Bay Run through Leichhardt Park, including lighting upgrades from King George Park to the Iron Cove Bridge (added to scope in January 2023)
