Situated high on the escarpment, the Bible Garden at 6A Mitchell Road, Palm Beach offers magnificent views over Palm Beach ocean beach, Pittwater and Barrenjoey.

The garden consists of lawn terraces between slopes and garden beds.  The best outlook is from the lower northern terrace which also includes a pond, a plaque with biblical excerpts, seats, a table and a Bible.

As Mitchell Road is a narrow, short cul-de-sac in a quiet residential area, consideration needs to be given to the residents particularly in relation to traffic, parking and noise.  All guests must be told to not park in Mitchell Road. The Bible Garden is suitable for small, simple weddings and events up to a maximum of 60 people.  Any extra props/site preparation must be detailed in your application form to be properly assessed by Council.  Please note weddings and similar events must be booked with Council.

A Bible Garden application form is to be completed and forwarded to Council's Reserves and Recreation Officer, along with the fee of $450 to secure your booking. Upon receipt, a confirmation will be sent to you to confirm your booking. If you cancel the booking a partial refund will be sent to the applicant.

For further information on bookings you can contact Council's Reserves & Recreation Officer on 9970 1355 or email nikki_griffith@pittwater.nsw.gov.au to check date availability of the garden.
