Lining the Swan River in Bayswater is various parks and reserves. Starting from the west, the Baigup Wetlands are one of the last remaining areas of natural bushland along the Swan River's estuary, and an important habitat for birds. A.P. Hinds Reserve is home to ANA Rowing Club, Bayswater Paddlesports Club and Bayswater Sea Scouts. Riverside Gardens is a popular park for dogs and picnics, and has a playground, boat ramp, café and a large open grassed area. Annual events held here include the Autumn River Festival and the finish line of the Avon Descent, both of which involve food stalls and entertainment. Nearby is the heritage listed Ellis House, which was restored by the City of Bayswater, and is now a community art centre. Next to Riverside Gardens is the Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary, an artificial wetland and bird habitat, and on the other side of Tonkin Highway is Claughton Reserve, a large park with a boat ramp and playground.
