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.
