| Description |
From Glenfield Station south along Railway Parade - through Bunbury Curran Park to Georges River Parkway (GRP) south to Simmos Beach Recreation Reserve - foreshore walking track around Long Point to Ingleburn Reserve, cycling trail along GRP corridor route. |
| Opportunities and constraints |
- Georges River Way route maximises the utility of the proposed (2008) Liverpool/ Campbelltown Rail Trail and the former GRP corridor - to provide a twin regional walkway/cycleway spine - with rail to GRP cross links and spurs to scenic foreshore areas
- This section improves recreational opportunities for northern part of the LGA with loop created by link adjacent to Hazlett Oval and Milton Park to Macquarie Fields Station
- Trail can become focus for environmental works and community events
|
| Actions |
- CCC / DIPNR / RTA - plan and construct GPR recreational pathway network though LGA linking with RTA's Rail Trial and scenic foreshore attractions
- CCC /TC - facilitate community ownership of trails - encouraging local links to schools and parks and environmental projects
- NPA and community be involved in planning Simmos Beach to Ingleburn Reserve Walking Track

Rationale:
The proposed route follows well used Long Point Walking Track (5 km), avoids sewage treatment works, makes use of former Georges River Parkway - for sustainable transport and is mostly off-road, safe with easy grades.
It links main recreational areas - Simmos Beach Recreation Reserve, Ingleburn Reserve and Bunbury Curran Park and the Rail Trail. It gives clear focus for bush regeneration and earth repair projects. |
