The recreational area of JJ Melbourne Hills Memorial Reserve lies within the 44 hectare park and is surrounded by native bushland. It is located near Garigal National Park and has unique environmental and biodiversity values and is home to a number of threatened species.

It's used for a variety of activities and includes an equestrian arena, BMX track and field archery area. The BMX track has recently been upgraded and is now at competition standard.

The BMX track is open for use in dry conditions only as if the track is damp or wet it causes significant damage to the track surface.

The Manly Warringah BMX Club operates at the track. It is a non-profit family sporting organisation that is all about fun, great bike skills and getting rad!
