Cnr Edward St & Wellington St, Bondi

Dickson Reserve

Dickson Reserve has two distinct areas, separated by a steep embankment planted with shady she-oaks and fig trees. The upper park features a large dog-friendly grassed space and a hardstand with rings for casual basketball and netball.

The lower park has a large adventure playground, dominated by a circuit of rope challenges and a range of play items for kids of all ages, including a long slide, spinner, rockers and nature play areas. There is ample shaded seating, shelter and picnic tables throughout the reserve.
