Empress Street Reserve

Good for a proper afternoon out — bring the whole crew because there’s enough here to keep everyone busy. The basketball court gets a solid workout on weekends, the kids have their playground corner, and the BBQ facilities mean you can actually make a meal of it rather than just a quick stop. Public toilets on site too, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re planning to stay a while. It’s a straightforward, no-fuss local park that South Hurstville residents rely on regularly, and for good reason.
