Discover Carss Park

Carss Park is a suburb in the Georges River region, famous for its waterfront reserve, swimming baths and family-friendly picnic areas.

Welcome to Carss Park, one of Sydney’s most picturesque suburbs. The highlight of this area is Carss Bush Park, offering calm areas along Kogarah Bay with breathtaking waterfront views, leafy parks, and plenty of outdoor activities.

Enjoy a stroll along the foreshore, have a picnic or BBQ surrounded by many trees, or let the children play in the playgrounds. There is even an onsite café for you to enjoy a meal while taking in the serenity.

Carss Park offers both relaxation and excitement, blending natural beauty with fun activities. It’s been lively since the early 19th century, when lime-burners used shell middens. In 1924, the auction of Carss Bush Park Estate kickstarted the suburb’s development.

Today, Carss Park is still evolving. It has projects like the Carss Park Foreshore improvement and spaces for soccer, cricket, and rugby league. Carss Park is a true star in Sydney’s landscape.
