Rodd Island, at 0.5 hectares, is located in Iron Cove off Birkenhead Point near the Sydney suburb of Rozelle. The island has been reserved, in the main, forpublic recreation although in the late 1800s it was used as a biological research station under instructions from Dr Louis Pasteur. An attraction of this island is the summer houses that date from the 1920's and the colonial style hall built in 1889.

Clark Island is now put to recreational use. It has pathways through natural bush and is dotted with quiet areas ideal for picnics and relaxation. The island is limited to up to 100 people at any one time. The island can also be booked from private functions.
