Oyster Cove Reserve is a grassed waterside reserve at Wollstonecraft with a designated off-leash area. In keeping with North Sydney's parks, dogs are welcome off-leash under effective control, with open lawn for a run. It is a quiet, pleasant spot by the water. A handy off-leash reserve close to the harbour.

Nice trail for a walk , serene, green & peaceful, not a soul in this area. Too good to be quiet. But the views & walk are picturesque 🍀

Nice little area overlooking the water, boats and naval ships. There are some very, very long stairs going up to Horace St if you want some fitness. In the other direction there's Badangi Reserve. There's also a large grassy area where Welcome Swallows tend to fly around. Occasionally I have also seen ducks and Water Dragons hanging around.

Such a beautiful area to have a picnic, walk and relax! The water here is very serene and we saw lots of different fish, lizards and other wildlife even though the city was so close!

Not sure if you can swim here but I assume so as there are stairs to go down. The water looks beautiful, glistening green. Seems like it's where people park their boats, just near many residential apartments. Loved the bush walk to get there.
