Prospect Nature Reserve, Nature reserve and water catchment area in Western Sydney, Australia
The Prospect Nature Reserve extends across 325 hectares of land containing native woodland, diverse wildlife species, and the Prospect Reservoir water storage facility.
Established in 2007, the reserve incorporates the Prospect Reservoir, which began operations in 1888 as the first earthfill embankment dam constructed in Australia.
The reserve stands on traditional lands of the Darug people and contains Cumberland Plain Woodland, featuring Grey Box, Forest Red Gum, and Spotted Gum trees.
Visitors can access recreational areas near Prospect Reservoir through William Lawson Drive, where Andrew Campbell Reserve provides picnic tables, playgrounds, and restroom facilities.
The reserve contains the largest igneous rock formation in Sydney, known as the Prospect dolerite intrusion, which influences the geological composition of the area.
