Pirrama Park
Quieter Pyrmont pickup — a calmer alternative to Darling Harbour
Pirrama Park is on the Pyrmont side of Darling Harbour — the same body of water as King Street Wharf, but quieter, with parkland instead of restaurants. The charter pontoon sits on the eastern side of the park, facing across Darling Harbour to the city.
Locals use Pirrama as a backup when Darling Harbour wharves are full, or when they want a calmer boarding experience for an intimate charter. Pyrmont Bay light rail and The Star casino are within easy walking distance.
