Bronte Reserve

Family friendly park area, space to throw a Frisbee or go hide up the gully… Great play area for kids.

Whether you’ve made it to Bronte Reserve because you’re half way through a Bondi to Bronte Walk or you’ve purposefully decided to head down there to meet mates or play with your kids — this park never disappoints. This grasslands sits right near the beach and offers a place to play with the kids, throw ball with the dog or to chill with your friends and have a BBQ.
It gets busy in summer but not as bad or as touristy as Bondi, so locals tend to head here instead.
It’s a great place for a picnic and if you can’t be bothered cooking there are heaps of great cafes near where you can grab something, sit on the grass and enjoy the stunning view.
A great park for all!

Oh my, how I loved this park as a kid. I still remember gazing in awe at the child-​sized choo-​choo train as it endlessly did round after round after round of the mini train track, it was sooo exciting when he’d toot the horn occasionally. I laugh so hard when I see it now compared to the über-​stimulation kids get these days, and I LOVE that it still exists and is probably still 20c a ride.
This lovely family-​friendly park always has a few dogs running around, a few games of Frisbee going on and a few people kicking a football around, is well-​maintained, expansive, and with ample barbeques and plenty of shade. There are plenty of cubicles in the bathrooms, plenty of room to shower and change in the change room and, rarely for the Eastern Suburbs, some privacy is even offered for the more modest amongst us. (Not me, I grew up here.)
If the BBQ’s are all in use (common in Summer), supplies can be found at the Bronte Kiosk and fish’n’chips and the like can be had from any of the shops across the road. DO NOT expect to find a newspaper down here though, the caffs all have them to read on the premises but if you plan on reading the trashy Sunday papers in the park or on the beach it’s BYO.
