Foreshore and Heritage at Esplanade Foreshore Reserve
Esplanade Foreshore Reserve gives public access to the Georges River foreshore, with views across Oyster Bay. The reserve contains endangered saltmarsh vegetation and unique Aboriginal shell middens, and interpretive signage explains these natural and cultural heritage values. A natural tidal pool supports saltmarsh remediation. Sutherland Shire Council acquired the property at 1R The Esplanade and transformed it into a newly landscaped waterfront reserve for community use.
Picnics and Play at Esplanade Foreshore Reserve

Picnic seating suits family gatherings, and ample open space leaves room for outdoor activities. A canopy of shady trees covers much of the reserve, and a safe path leads from the picnic area down to the water's edge, which makes the reserve suited to relaxed afternoons by the river.
