Centenary Drive, Mosman NSW, 2088

History: a place with many uses Reid Park was originally a large tidal mudflat with a spectacular 30 metre waterfall at the north-eastern end.

Aboriginal people would have enjoyed the natural harvests of this magnificent place for thousands of years. In 1831, the area was granted to Archibald Mosman to start a whaling station. In less than a decade, the Whaling industry had declined and Mosman Bay became a graveyard for discarded vessels. Utilising structures from the site to build wharves, a ferry service began in 1873.

In 1900, the mudflat was filled in and Reid Park was officially opened. The new recreation area was named after the Premier of NSW (1894-1899), Sir George Reid. Reid Park is #3 on the map.
