Brooklyn baths are located 5-10 mins walk away down on the river side at McKell Park. The water quality is checked regularly by the council & is usually of very good quality. You can check this updated information at https://www.mhlfit.net/users/HornsbyShireCouncil-SwimmingConditions.
As swimming is better at high tide, we recommend keeping an eye on the tide times at https://tides.willyweather.com.au/nsw/sydney/brooklyn.html for the best experience.

Classic historical pub, with dine in & take away – the pizza is great!
Kitchen closes at 8pm, sometimes earlier if it’s quiet. So make sure you are over ordering at the counter before 730pm to be safe as this is the only dinner option in town at this time of the night.
