BERRY ISLAND RESERVE

Public BBQ

Berry Island Reserve delivers a quintessential Sydney harbour experience where sprawling lawns meet spectacular city skyline views. The compact but well-equipped playground features essential climbing structures, swings and slides that keep children thoroughly entertained, though parents should note the west-facing aspect means afternoon sun can be intense. A convenient gas barbecue sits adjacent to the play area, allowing adults to prepare lunch while supervising activities. The reserve's crown jewel is the gentle bushwalking track circling the headland, suitable for small children and revealing Aboriginal rock carvings midway along the route. Waterfront access accommodates kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding for the adventurous, while the expansive grassy areas prove perfect for ball games and kite flying. Free roadside parking and nearby toilets complete the practical amenities, though shade structures remain notably absent across the open lawns.
