Pleasant Reserve is 5,254m² and is relatively undeveloped. The Sheahans Reserve Development Plan 2011 sets out the future development of Morang, Sheahans and Pleasant Reserves. Improvements to Pleasant Reserve include planting, a new path and a shade arch.
The reserve is part of an informal linear connection of parklands from Pleasant Reserve to Birrarung Park via Sheahans Reserve, Morang Reserve, the Kimberley Way footpath and Kimberley Reserve. There is potential to connect the eastern end of Pleasant Reserve to Swanston Reserve along the natural drainage line. The enhancement of this linear park would greatly increase its usage by to local residents.
