A boardwalk and walking tracks running about 3.5 km through bushland along the south bank, from the estuary to the Nepean Highway, with two bridges to the north bank creating a circuit. At the highway, the track connects with walking tracks in The Briars Park. Balcombe Creek flows through The Briars’ wetlands, emptying into the sea at Mt. Martha beach, in what is the Balcombe Estuary Reserve. The Estuary is home to numerous species of flora and fauna, including several that are rare or vulnerable. The walks within the Balcombe Estuary Reserve are connected to those within The Briars Park, providing visitors an extensive network to explore. The reserve has a playground with BBQs and toilets.

A little known gem in Mt. Martha. Spanning more than 50 hectares, the park is unique because of its granitic formations. The trails throughout the park offer a chance to observe indigenous wildlife, vegetation, as well as enjoy vistas of the peak and nearby bay.
