Lonely Planet review for Elkington Park

If Balmain’s endless photogenia doesn’t float your boat, head to Elkington Park, named in 1883 after a local politician. At the bottom of the escarpment, the magnificently restored late-Victorian (1884) timber enclosure at the tidal Dawn Fraser Baths picturesquely protects swimmers from underwater undesirables. Australia’s all-conquering 1956–1964 Olympian Dawn Fraser sacrificed her youth here swimming laps. Live jazz is your belly-smacker soundtrack on summer weekends.
