This is a large triangular shaped reserve on a hill and has a good network of paths along the southern edge. The reserve surrounds the Ferry Road Stormwater Pond — you will need to keep a close eye on young children.
Do not swim in the pond as the stormwater contains contaminants!
Access from Ferry Road — you will need to park on the road. There are bus stops near both ends of the reserve.
The nearest playground is at the Ferry Road / Hawaiian Parade junction. There is also a small skate park along the footpath.
Follow the 2.6km Arkles Bay Path through Arkles Bay.
