Ruffey Creek Linear Park is located 100 metres away to the west. Wombat Bend playspace is located 500 metres away to the north-west, while the proposed Swilk Reserve playspace will be located 400 metres away to the south-east.
This reserve has very low priority for further development. Improved accessibility and landscape management are the key actions. A more substantial upgrade may wait until the Pine trees have reached the end of their useful life.
