The Tunks Park Boat Ramp in Northbridge, a suburb on the Lower North Shore of Sydney, provides access to Middle Harbour and the broader Sydney Harbour.
The boat ramp is a single-lane concrete ramp, suitable for launching small to medium-sized vessels. A floating pontoon is available to assist with launching and retrieving boats. The ramp is accessible at all tide levels, making it a convenient option for most outings. However, it's worth noting that during low tide, the ramp's shallow angle can make launching and retrieving a bit more challenging. It tends to flatten out near the bottom, so extra care is recommended at lower water levels.
This ramp is one of the most well-known ramps in the area. Accessible via Brothers Avenue, the ramp is situated within the expansive Tunks Park, which features sports fields, bushland reserves, and recreational facilities.
The boat ramp is well-maintained and straightforward to use, but parking can be a challenge during busy times—particularly on summer weekends and public holidays. It's a quiet spot overall, but demand picks up quickly, so if you're planning to launch on those days, it's best to arrive early—ideally by 7am. On weekdays, however, parking is usually no issue, with plenty of space available.
The surrounding Tunks Park offers amenities such as public toilets, change rooms, benches, picnic tables, boat wash station, a fish cleaning station, a mobile cafe stand, and an outdoor fitness station. Overnight parking or camping is not permitted.
The park is dog-friendly, though dogs are not permitted on sports fields during organised sports or within 10 metres of the playground. They must be kept on a leash in bushland areas.
Overall, it’s a great spot; perfect for launching into the harbour or simply spending time with the kids while watching the resident pelicans. The surrounding park is well-kept, and the area has a natural charm that’s enjoyable at any time of day or night.
