Athol Lawn is a wide expanse of lawn at the top of Bradleys Head in Sydney Harbour National Park. It's an ideal place for the family to enjoy New Year's Eve. There are views of the harbour skyline, but there aren't clear views of the Sydney Opera House or Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Bring a picnic and enjoy the ambience in the park leading up to the spectacular midnight fireworks.
