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.

Pleasant Reserve is 5,254m² and is relatively undeveloped. The Sheahans Reserve Development Plan 2011 sets out the future development of Morang, Sheahans and Pleasant Reserves. Improvements to Pleasant Reserve include planting, a new path and a shade arch.  

The reserve is part of an informal linear connection of parklands from Pleasant Reserve to Birrarung Park via Sheahans Reserve, Morang Reserve, the Kimberley Way footpath and Kimberley Reserve.  There is potential to connect the eastern end of Pleasant Reserve to Swanston Reserve along the natural drainage line. The enhancement of this linear park would greatly increase its usage by to local residents.

Fitzsimons Reserve is a large 78,237m2 (7.8 hectares) habitat corridor between Westerfolds and Candlebark Parks on the Yarra River. It forms part of the Yarra Valley Parklands and protects flora and fauna, managed sympathetically with adjoining Parks Victoria managed Candlebark Park.

Fitzsimons Reserve was the former site of Kiwanis Community Farm.  A series of dams and wetlands, covering an area of approximately 4,000 m2, remain from this use.

Parks Victoria’s Main Yarra Trail goes through the western part of the reserve and skirts the southern side although informal tracks have been established along the river.  By agreement, Parks Victoria manages the Main Yarra Trail and adjacent viewing platform within the reserve.

The site is also a popular launching point for canoes and kayaks, with a carpark and viewing platform adjacent to the river, overlooking rapids.
