This small reserve in Reservoir Street commemorates The Crown Street Reservoir just up the hill which is well worth a visit.
The Reservoir was built in 1859 and had the capacity to supply water to about 85% of the Sydney population from the Botany Swamps near the airport. It is still in use.
Information about its history is displayed at the reserve and also on the reservoir itself..
