Description
Although the nature reserve at Sandford Lake is small, relative to the whole site, most of the common water birds can be seen, and the undergrowth is worth watching. The activity areas are also home to the more robust and tolerant waterfowl. Occasional scarcities have been observed. Another perhaps more secluded nature reserve is adjacent at Lavell's Lake Nature Reserve.

Although the park becomes busy at times, the nature reserve is beyond the areas that attract crowds and much of the activity is close to the carpark. Due to Covid restrictions, some facilities will be closed or restricted.
