The Manly Dam Reserve, also known as the Manly Warringah War Memorial Park,[1] is an urban bushland reserve located in the Northern Beaches region of Sydney, Australia. The reserve adjoins the south-eastern edge of Garigal National Park.

Located within the 376 hectares (930 acres) reserve is the 30-hectare (74-acre) dam reservoir.[2]

The heritage listed dam wall was designed and built in 1892 by the NSW Department of Public Works.[3] The dam wall is located just outside the boundary of the reserve and is owned by Sydney Water.

There are a number of Aboriginal heritage sites in the reserve.
