Domeney Reserve provides a range of community facilities including sporting oval, netball / basketball court, Domeney Recreation Centre which includes a community centre and sports pavilion, playground, barbecues and picnic shelters.
It plays an important role in the provision of informal recreation and cultural opportunities within its district catchment, including the annual event, Carols by Candlelight. The playground is next door to St Anne’s Primary School and accessibility for Park Orchard residents in general will be improved once the long term bicycle network is implemented.
