O'DEA RESERVE

Public BBQ

O'Dea Reserve emerges as a welcome patch of green amid Sydney's inner west sprawl, offering families a surprisingly comprehensive recreational experience. The reserve centers around an impressively large fenced dog park with sandy ground cover that drains well even after rain - a practical advantage over muddy alternatives. Water fountains serve both canines and their companions, while complimentary waste bags demonstrate thoughtful management. Beyond the substantial off-leash area, the reserve provides undercover picnic tables perfect for barbecues, alongside a well-equipped playground that keeps children entertained. A circular paved path winds through the space, ideal for young cyclists learning to navigate gentle slopes and turns. The open grassy areas offer room for active families to spread out, while the combination of facilities creates an environment where multiple generations can find their entertainment. While perhaps not the most scenic of Sydney's parks, O'Dea Reserve delivers practical family recreation with reliable amenities.
