Clontarf Reserve

It's a nice spot, is has a large playground and netted and shaded swimming area. Plenty of Shaded picnic area with free electric BBQ close by. There's a nice little Cafe there to get some ice cream, lunch or coffee, the toilets are plenty and well maintained. The cons: it is extremely expensive to park there $40 for the whole day. The Reserve is dog friendly with a condition that they must always be on a leash, unfortunately there's always a couple people that think the rules don't apply to them. Yesterday I witnessed a dog off its leash while it barked and chased some kids in the playground while they were running in fear. Do not fear though, the Rangers will be around to make sure everyone is doing the right thing though, right? No, but they'll check you've paid your parking fees..

One of the few hidden gems in Sydney. Very quiet, very family friendly and spacious. Not popular with some destructive teenagers so all the equipment for kids is intact and in a good condition. Toilet facilities are Ok ish, definitely could have been better, but acceptable.

Clontarf beach sea pool is located at Clontarf reserve and near the spit bridge Mosman. You can see the spit bridge from here. The pool is front of the playground. Plus free BBQ facilities. Make this spot ideal for families. The water was crystal clear and I enjoyed the swim 🏊‍♀️ at the end of clontarf beach is castle Rock reserve which leads to castle rock beach. Great atmosphere. Metered Park is $10 per hour, but a little further back you can find free parking 😉

Amazing this Reserve and is just next to the beach, perfect for a nice beach day, there are public toilets, picnics, and BBQ areas, the sea is pretty quiet so no big waves, also there are some Cafes and a playground around, usually, families come

Great start point for the manly walk despite the windy day. This spot is for family it has playground, water, sand, bathroom and cafe.
