Westerfield Drive Reserve

The Westerfield Drive Reserve playspace was upgraded in 2022.

Surrounded by vegetation, this park offers a variety of play equipment for the community to enjoy. This includes a double swing, a trampoline and a multi-play unit with shop front and slide.

Children are also able to develop their sensory skills by interacting with musical instruments such as the 8-key Marimba and the sound bouncers or sensory trails. There are also benches to relax and a chess table where chess enthusiasts can practice their game.
