    1080 pest management operation

    NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service will be conducting a baiting program using manufactured baits and fresh baits containing 1080 poison (sodium fluroacetate) for the control of foxes. The program is continuous and ongoing between 1 August 2026 and 31 January 2027 in Lane Cove National Park. Don’t touch baits. Penalties apply for non-compliance.

    All baiting locations are identifiable by signs.

    Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW national parks and reserves. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs).

About

Tucked away in a tranquil riverside setting, Bakers Flat picnic area offers a peaceful spot for a family get-together, in Lane Cove National Park. With a large flat grassy area and wheelchair-accessible facilities, it's ideal for the kids and large get-togethers of friends and family. Located a short drive from Chatswood, it's perfect for a quick nature getaway without leaving town.

Take your pick of tables and unpack the picnic hamper, or bring some firewood and spark up a barbecue. Bring the bikes and cycle the nearby trails or launch the canoe for a paddle down the beautiful Lane Cove River. Don't forget to leave some time to explore the nearby historic cottages.

Keep an eye out for the eastern water dragons that sun themselves along the water's edge. You might be lucky to spot an echidna that might venture out during the warmer months.
