One Tree Hill Reserve (formerly Berrima Reserve) links Berrima Road with One Tree Hill and provides pleasant parkland for the surrounding area. The Reserve has a non traditional play function with wooden sculptures hidden amongst the trees and bushland around the hilltop.
The sculptures were installed in 1999 and while these are aging and in some instances have been broken, they remain sympathetic to the character of the Reserve. The sculptures along with the views, provide a reason for people to visit the Reserve and explore the natural environment.
The Reserve is well used and loved by locals, mainly for exercise, dog walking and relaxing. The Reserve offers a high vantage point which is popular with local residents to watch sunsets.
One Tree Hill Reserve is two hectares in size, contains remnant vegetation and forms part of McIntyre Road, Biosite 19. The vegetation is considered very high priority in our Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. Future management of the Reserve will reflect this.
