Bald Hill Lookout

Bald Hill Lookout is a prominent coastal lookout at Stanwell Tops on the Illawarra escarpment in Wollongong, New South Wales. Perched above Lawrence Hargrave Drive, it offers panoramic views over Stanwell Park, the Sea Cliff Bridge and the Pacific coastline. Renowned as one of Australia's premier hang-gliding and paragliding launch sites, the reserve features a paved lookout platform, parkland and memorials, attracting sightseers, photographers and adventure sports enthusiasts year-round.

Visitors can expect a large grassed hilltop reserve with a paved lookout platform overlooking the coastline, Stanwell Park beach, Sea Cliff Bridge and the Illawarra escarpment. The site offers open lawns, picnic areas, seating and interpretive signage. On clear days hang-gliders and paragliders launch from the hill. The area is exposed and windy with expansive ocean views, suitable for sightseeing, photography and short walks around the reserve.
