About Apex Reserve
Views and the 7 Explorers Track at Apex Reserve
Apex Reserve has the 7 Explorers Track, a route with history signs along it, and one of those signs has settled at an angle. Apex Reserve looks out over Lucas Heights and the Menai and Sutherland area, and visitors can sit and take in the outlook. Overgrown trees now block parts of that view. The outlook remains one of the most appealing features of the reserve for anyone wanting a quiet place to sit.
Play Equipment and Uneven Ground at Apex Reserve
Apex Reserve has basic children's play equipment, a small feature of this compact reserve that suits short visits rather than long play sessions. Two busy roads flank the reserve, so young children need close watching at all times. The ground has no flat spot and is sloped and uneven in places, which means children cannot run around with ease and the reserve is unsuitable for a fair soccer game. Grass has been seen growing too long, and litter has been noticed around the reserve.
