Burrabru Reserve was land previously owned by the Roads and Traffic Authority. It is approximately 2,261m² and runs from Edinburgh Rd to the foreshore. Weed control measures have been extensive and foreshore access has been achieved since transfer to Willoughby City Council. The top of the reserve has provision of parking and seating.
Sugarloaf Point is a small triangle-shaped reserve, approximately 710m², bounded by two houses and the shoreline of Middle Harbour. Access is via a narrow opening between two properties. The upper level is flat then drops away to the shore. Access to the shore is possible but difficult.
These reserves were part of the Torquay Estate subdivision in 1911. The first public wharf in Middle Harbour, which opened in 1916, was at the bottom of the former Edinburgh Road extension. Council and the Torquay Estate vendors each contributed half its cost. A service was provided twice a week to The Spit before it was declared dangerous and demolished in 1954. During the 1950s three lots of land were set aside for a bridge planned to cross Middle Harbour. Since then, two of these lots have been transferred to Council.
