Stuart Street Reserve

Stuart Street Reserve is a nice set of three football/soccer fields in Padstow and home to the Padstow Hornets Football Club. It is placed at the end of a quiet cul de sac and has parking on site. The Padstow Hornets club house is also located on site. Goals are set up during the winter months. The grounds are also accessible by foot from the Salt Pan Creek walk and reserve connecting Padstow to Punchbowl and Riverwood. There is also a MacDonalds nearby to the grounds.

The reserve is nice to go for a walk n forget ur in the city. There’s a lot of board walks n bridges, ponds n ducks. Nice to walk the dog. It gets a bit muggy n mozzies when the weather is hot.

It would be better if it were not near the noisy factory.

This walk way is part of the mangrove swamp walk that goes from Bridge Street Padstow. The other walks going from Bridge Street are either following Salt Pan Crash or across the creek to Riverwood.

Footy field on the fringe. Creek and riverbank mangrove one way, heavy industry in the other, motorway at close distance - all within cooee of the safety of Mum and Dad fibro city, brick veneer mortgage made paradise. Ran around the park once, in my dobok, we did Taekwondo as a group while the sun was setting - one of my fonder memories.
