What people say
Located at 8 The Esplanade, Mosman, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺. This is a beautiful part of the harbour, so picturesque and well preserved. A great walking track around the water . There’s a lot of grass for you to picnic and it’s dog friendly. You can swim in the Baths which are great and there’s nice restaurants to dine at. The toilet facilities are good and there’s take away shops to get some food if you don’t want to dine in. It’s very wheelchair friendly and the parking is great too. Would definitely recommend a visit here. Thumbs up!
Balmoral Reserve is a great park for families with playgrounds, sports courts, and picnic areas. Reviewers often mention its cleanliness and suitability for events, though some note parking can be challenging on busy days.

Beautiful spot to take a walk and relax with family. Decent food options along the beach but you will need to make a reservation for restaurants.
Balmoral Reserve is the set up base for the annual Balmoral Burn Charity Event where the start is at the bottom of nearby Awaba Street with the finish line about 400m up the massive hill. Great atmosphere and congratulations on the local community putting a well run event.
