Wire mill reserve is a beautiful waterfront pathway / park along Abbotsford Bay. There are few accessible entrances, due to many of the entrances / exits being up stairs or through the apartment blocks with hilly terrain. The main accessible entrance I located is along the path between Allison Park. This is a long walkway up and down hills however there is a constant paved path through this area and is still a pleasant walk.

Due to this distance there is little to no accessible parking or normal parking at all as the reserve is surrounded by buildings and the bay, parking to come to this park would mean parking somewhere closer to Campbell or Allison parks. Once in the park there are some benches however it’s mainly just a walking track along the bay.

Accessible street parking: 40 Bay Road, Russell Lea, New South Wales, 2046

There are no bathrooms, the closest one being at the Campbell Park clubhouse which is quite far away and difficult to access from this area.

Stadium Australia (ANZ Stadium or before that Telstra Stadium) is in the Sydney Olympic Park. As you would expect from a modern stadium, it has many purpose-built wheelchair spaces (with companion seats next to each one). Access is easy from the new train station; a smooth roll (albeit a slightly long 10 to 20 minute one; this can be a bit tiresome if you are seated on the far side). Crowds tend to be large so for some particular events, it can be a good idea to delay leaving the stadium.
