Rydalmere to Parramatta by bike

The Subiaco Creek link in Rydalmere along the Parramatta River foreshore allows pedestrians and cyclists to avoid road traffic, including the busy, steep and industrial South and Pike Streets. 

The link makes it possible to walk or cycle away from traffic for almost 20km on a high-quality path network from the Western Sydney University campus in Rydalmere and between Parramatta Park and Sydney Olympic Park.

Quality off-road paths increase the amenity of an area and give businesses, residents and employees a more flexible choice for how they access the precinct.
