Mick Harley Reserve is located near the popular Findon Skid Kids Cycle Speedway and features tennis courts, a playground and drinking fountain.
Previously named Findon Reserve, it was renamed in honour of former Charles Sturt councillor Mick Harley OAM who was only 15 years old when he formed the Findon Skid Kids in 1958. Mr Harley went on to earn a Medal of the Order of Australia for his fundraising work and support of charity organisations.
