Police said the car had broken down coming off the southbound Shoalhaven River bridge while attempting to turn into Bridge Road around 7.30am.
A couple of good Samaritans gave the driver a hand to clear the vehicle off the roadway, but unfortunately as it entered Bridge Road the vehicle got away from them and careered over the footpath and plunged over the retaining wall.
The vehicle was left hanging over the wall into Moorhouse Park, near the Captain Cook Bicentenary Memorial, which was erected in the park in 1970 and later became the home of a Nowra floodboat.
The vehicle’s back wheels were over a metre off the ground.
Luckily no one was injured in the incident.
The vehicle had to be recovered by a tow truck.
