Pathway of Olympians
The pathway of Olympians celebrates more than 100 years of the Manly residents who represented Australia in Olympic Games – both Summer & Winter.
Along the walkway you can observe first-hand the level of athletic prowess that has sprung from the local area.
From the first Manly Olympian Stan Rowley in 1900, Manly has had a local representative at most Summer Olympics. Since 1992 the Steggall family (Zali and Zekke) has done the suburb proud in the Winter Olympics. There are now more than 80 plaques on the walk, which is a living history, continuing to expand after each Olympic Games.
For visitors to Manly and residents alike, this is a lovely stroll along the Manly foreshore, overlooking the harbour with plenty of places to perch and take in the environment. Manly Beach is also just a short stroll away.
