Harrington Park · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
Public transport and parks are very close for most people in Harrington Park, but other services are harder to reach on foot. The area is considered somewhat walkable, with a score of 5.3, which is a little below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. While green space is easy to find, far fewer homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school compared to the state average.

Somewhat walkable of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
