Hardinge Park attracts a number of people seeking natural surroundings (with some facilities) for relaxation and social outings in a limited area around the dam. The Water Authority set aside this park to protect the environment around the dam from damage and pollution by human activities. Hardinge Park is therefore a beautiful and precious remnant of bushland in an urban area.
Hardinge Park is located on Hardinge Road to the west of the Bickley Reservoir. The Park has been terraced and landscaped. The facilities include a playground for children, concrete walkways, shaded timber benches and tables, timber railing fences, and well designed toilet facilities that blend into the surrounding landscape.
Work included rehabilitating degraded areas and constructing new recreation facilities such as tables and benches, walk trails, a car park, playground and toilets. City of Gosnells’ duties included rehabilitation and landscaping, lawn mowing, weed control and reticulation. The new area was named Hardinge Park after T. H. Hardinge, whose land higher up the valley had been resumed for the water supply in 1920. The road to the area was named after him many years ago. T. H. Hardinge died in 1929 but his daughter attended the opening of the Park. The Hardinge Park facilities are now well used by local people and visitors to the area.
