Plan your visit

You’ll find plenty to do at Whites Hill Reserve for a great day outdoors. 

Get together with friends or host a party at the barbecues, sheltered seating and picnic area next to the playground. The Common is a fully fenced playground with play equipment for children of all ages and abilities. 

A short walk from the picnic area, you can play touch football, cricket or soccer, or fly kites and run on the sporting fields. 

To experience the natural beauty of the reserve, go for a bushwalk. Catch glimpses of the city and the surrounding area from Whites Hill Summit or Sankey’s Mountain Outlook.
