Oakland Reserve is a relatively large reserve (0.5 Hectares) that also provides a pedestrian thoroughfare from Oakland Drive to Warrandyte High School and should be retained for this purpose. Local residents in the surrounding low density residential area also access the school oval through this Reserve for out of school hour’s recreation purposes.
Continuing the existing path to the school boundary gate, in consultation with the school, will better serve the Reserve’s purpose, especially in wet weather. A natural drainage line, containing a Council drain, runs parallel with the existing path across the site. The north-west corner of the Reserve is also located on the periphery of the Naughton Avenue, Biosite 15, with some remnant vegetation along the boundary fence. There is scope for revegetation of parts of the Reserve to enhance the value of the Biosite consistent with Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012.

Browning Reserve is a large (6,029m²), well located reserve for residents south of Serpells Road and the families of Serpell and St. Charles Borromeo Primary Schools.
It provides a pedestrian link through to Glen Orchard Close and there is a bus stop outside the Reserve on Browning Drive. Upgraded in 2008, the reserve is well maintained with attractive landscaping, good visibility and a playspace. There are three other playspaces within a 400 metre radius.
Paths are in reasonable condition and are a mixture of asphalt and granitic sand. Additional low landscaping to the Glen Orchard Close pedestrian link would also improve its appearance, but in general this is a pleasant and functional reserve and a low priority for upgrade.
Browning Reserve Playground
Children will love exploring and playing at Browning Reserve. The 'bird hide' cubby has a slide and cargo net and views over the swings, rocker and see-saw. There is plenty of seating shaded from the large Eucalypt trees.
Suitable age group: 1 to 6 years

Sarah Reserve is a large (0.8 hectare) open reserve that provides informal access from Sarah Crescent (and Serpells Road) through to Reynolds Road (bus stop). However there is a steep bank down to Reynolds Road from the Reserve and steps down the bank could be considered.
The Reserve is located in a low residential density area where a playspace would not normally be provided. Pettys Reserve is located only 250 metres away on the opposite side of Reynolds Road.
Extensive additional tree planting to improve the amenity of the Reserve, while still providing large open grass areas for informal recreation, should be a priority.
