Berry Island Reserve — Attraction in Sydney

Firstly the good points; lovely view of the harbour skyline, dog friendly with dog bins and running water. Clean toilets; they do need a wall dryer or at least paper hand towels. The lawn is well looked after. It’s a medium size area. There is a walking trail but it is steep and very uneven. It’s not worth it because there are no interesting views.

The downside is limited parking that is on the side of the road. The side of the road is a very steep walk, not great for the elderly or those with mobility issues.

A superb playground for young children up to 8 years of age. Swings, slides, climbing equipment.

Perfect spot for a young child’s birthday.

However be careful if playing ball games. Lack of netting on fences means balls may roll away and into the water. I’ve experienced the heartbreak of a child who’s soccer ball has drifted off into the harbour 😢
