Bill McCall Park is proposed for a reserve located at 1 Selkirk Place Camden South, in commemoration of the late William (Bill) McCall.
Reeves Reserve is proposed for a reserve located at 11 Reeve Place Camden South, in commemoration of Henry Pollock Reeves who was Camden school master from 1850-1880s, Mayor of Camden in 1894 and the designer of the Camden School of Arts Building.
Stoney Range Reserve is proposed for a reserve located at 80A McCall Avenue Camden South, named after a topographical feature located within what is now called Camden Park, an area of 2250 acres granted to John Macarthur.
