Pettys Reserve is well located and accessible as a regional sports venue on a major road (Reynolds Road), near a bus stop and surrounded by residents on only two sides.

The Reserve is currently being developed as a regional soccer facility, with Council's Recreation Strategy 2010 endorsing the implementation of works in two stages.

Stage 1 of the Development Plan was completed in 2012 and comprised two grass soccer fields, demolition of the former Pony Clubrooms, a crushed rock carpark with access from Smiths Road, fencing and landscaping.

Stage 2 of the Development Plan is to include a sealed carpark with access from Reynolds Road, a small sports pavilion, a small playspace and an upgrade of the soccer fields to synthetic turf.

Aloha Reserve comprises most of the Urban Miscellaneous (Reynolds Road), Biosite 35 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012.  The large local park 7340m2 (0.75 ha) runs along a drainage line and is well established with mature, remnant vegetation.  

The Reserve connects Reynolds Road to Aloha Gardens but due to lack of footpaths or bus stops along this section of Reynolds Road, there is little pedestrian traffic through the Reserve.  This steep site should be managed primarily as a conservation site. Consideration could be given to seating.

Doncaster Reserve urban plaza

With outdoor lounge style seating, seating walls, picnic table and eye catching steel art panels, the area is one to rest your legs and bask in some sunlight. Doncaster Secondary College students have worked alongside an artist to produce custom panels to offset this space and tie in with the Oak trees, which provide shade and character.

This urban oasis is the first of five plaza spaces to be implemented as a recommendation of the Open Space Strategy 2014, and has seen this unused area near the Doncaster Road entrance, transformed into a space that is inviting and safe.
