Spit West Reserve is a harbourside reserve at Mosman with a grassed area, an easy trail and lovely water views. Dogs are allowed off-leash here under effective control, with toilets, BBQ facilities and cafes close by. It is a relaxed spot for an evening walk and a play by the water, with paid parking at the Spit. A pleasant off-leash reserve on the harbour.

Great spot for an evening walk with the dog. Play on the grassed area or walk the easy trail and enjoy the views. Fishing seems a popular pastime, as is kayaking or snorkelling in the bay.

Excellent Reserve. Plenty of green park space for everyone to enjoy and plenty of carparking spaces but it is metered parking. We went there for a wedding and the sun was up with a cool breeze making it a perfect day to be married.

Public toilets available. Great views and cafes nearby. Offleash dog area. Parking at Spit Reserve $4.40 per hour. Make sure to check out options to start from if doing the 10km Spit to Manly walk as there is National Park as part of the walk. Well worth the journey. Multiple beaches (private beaches included) on the trip make for great photo ops
