Manly Dam
 
By Derrick

Brookvale is close to Manly Dam. It is an old freshwater storage dam now used as a recreation lake. People swim there in summer, have picnics and relax in the bushland. Sometimes people fish and part of the dam is used for water skiing. Manly Dam has some bush tracks around the lake.

 
 
No longer used for drinking water,
Manly Dam has become a recreational area with many water sports.
