History

Harry Howard in association with Barbara Buchanan designed Sawmillers Reserve and it has stood as testament to his modernist vision that it is well-designed and a popular destination with visitors looking for peace and quiet on the foreshore - there is a playground with treehouse only in the centre and no playing fields.

Access

Turn off Blues Point Road, North Sydney, take either French St or West Crescent St and park; or park at the top of Munro st and take the winding steps down to Sawmillers Reserve, a beautiful view of the harbour and an old shipwreck lies just offshore in Berry's Bay.

Interest Spots

It's a wonderful site for picnics and for the view of Pyrmont or Balmain across the water, and the nearby Balls Head Reserve of Waverton peninsula. Fishermen use the foreshore a little, there are boathouses nearby, and native vegetation lines the steep hills backing the reserve.

There is a children's treehouse and wood play area in the centre of the Reserve only, other than that the steep surrounding hill leads to a long and level area of grass.
