Named after Oswald Hector Reid (1899 to 1947), foundation member
of the Willoughby /Ku-Ring-Gai Cricket Association, Willoughby
resident and respected football player. The land was acquired from
the Loxton Estate in 1933 for public recreation and was formerly
known as part of Fuller Park.
There is a playground, picnic table and BBQ in the park which is
in a bushland setting. There are public toilets at the adjacent
sportsground which is an unleashed dog exercise area.
A plaque was unveiled in the park in 2006. It commemorates Garry
Crossley (1954-2004), "A local man of principle and community
spirit" who helped to ensure OH Reid Memorial Oval was retained as
community open space. The sculpture of Garry Crossley's dog, who
was always walking with him, is by Jamie Sargeant.
