Picnic Area 1 - just inside the main gate
Warringah Council have a community consultation session AND FREE BBQ for 2 hours this coming Saturday 12th Jan from 12:30-2:30PM to discuss the draft plan of management. If you are planning a few laps of the dam please drop by and talk with the rangers and register your interest and views on MTB access and trail development at the Dam.
