Tucked away on Waterview Street in Putney, the Kissing Point Park Boat Ramp is a fantastic spot to launch into the Parramatta River and explore Sydney’s stunning harbour. This two-lane concrete ramp makes getting on the water easy, with a jetty right next to it for docking. However, a word of caution; be mindful when using the ramp, as it can get slippery. Also, the waves created by passing ferries can stir up the water, so take your time when launching your boat.

In 2021, the City of Ryde gave the boat ramp a major upgrade, making it even more convenient for boaters. The improvements included widening the ramp to fit two cars with trailers at once, a new groyne to protect against waves, and a redesigned car park for better traffic flow. They also added extra seating, shaded areas, a brand-new fish cleaning table, boat washdown facilities, and upgraded toilets, making the entire area more user-friendly.

Parking is generally ample, but during peak times, the spaces for cars and trailers can fill up fast. If you're not in a rush, it's worth sticking around to enjoy the surroundings. Right near the ramp, there’s a small beach where you can relax and soak up the sun, as well as a wharf for the ferries that cruise along the river. It’s also a prime spot to catch a breathtaking sunset over the water.

If you're bringing the family along, the nearby park is a great place for kids to play on the playground, take a stroll with your dog, or set up a picnic under the trees. Whether you’re out for a day of boating, fishing, or simply unwinding by the water, Kissing Point ramp has everything you need for a relaxing time outdoors.
