Located on the corner of Wallmah Close and Wood Street, Wallmah Reserve is prominently located, with a group of large Pine trees defining its landscape character. Given the topography and table drain on Wood Street, the accessibility of the Reserve is quite limited.
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.
