Sir Thomas Mitchell Reserve

Sir Thomas Mitchell Reserve features a sports field, an amenities block, and a small playground which is set approximately 20 metres back from Alexander Street.

History

This reserve was originally the site of a quarry, which has since been filled and repurposed. In 1832, Thomas Livingstone Mitchell—later known as Sir Thomas Mitchell—recognized the strategic importance of the quarry and directed its use for metalling the streets of Sydney’s suburbs, contributing to the early development of the city’s infrastructure.
