Prospect Reservoir

Built in 1888, Prospect Reservoir was made to provide water for Sydney and remains an integral part of Sydney's supply of drinking water during the peak demand period. Over the years, the reservoir has become a popular picnic spot to hang out with friends or family. Laze around in the scenic and peaceful beauty of the ground or just pick up a ball to play around. For fitness enthusiasts, it’s also a great place for cycling and you can access off-road cycle tracks to Blacktown, Liverpool, Parramatta and beyond.
The reservoir has an historic significance as well and a few old buildings: defunct machinery can still be spotted. Every 2nd and 4th Sunday, the Prospect History Cottage gets open from 11 AM to 3 PM, which has a bundle of photographs and stories on the early settlement of Prospect and reservoir building. A great place to spend time with your loved ones
