Overlooking Pittwater in the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park at West Head, The Basin is a large grassy area with beautiful surrounds and spectacular views.

At The Basin, you’ll find great facilities along with a picnic area, sheltered beach and an inland lagoon where we are able to take the students canoeing and stand-up paddle boarding.
