Jenkins Lane Reserve

Substantial and pleasant neighbourhood playground with large grassy area, within a recreational square bounded by small streets on all four sides.

Playground is best for ages 2-8 - there is a little for toddlers to do with assistance, the height of slides is good for small children and the parents assisting them, but non-ladder-climbers can't access very much without help. The scale of the equipment means older kids will find it a bit limited.

Surfacing is rubber matting, there are substantial shade sails, the playground is unfenced. There are no toilets, drinking fountains, tables or BBQs.

Parking is very limited - despite being bounded on all four sides by street, some of the streets are too narrow for parking on, others are broken by intersections where parking is prohibited, and all have high kerbs preventing verge parking or getting one wheel up. The space appears to have been designed with the expectation that nearby folk will walk to it.

The grassy area is well and truly large enough for generic mucking around with balls or running games (though not oval sized). It is currently unshaded, planted around the edge with jacaranda trees that have some five to ten years to go before reaching sufficient height to provide much shade.
