The playground at St James Reserve suits the youngest visitors, with equipment designed for toddlers. A sun shade covers the play area, so children can play out of direct sun, and all-abilities access lets children with a range of mobility needs use the equipment. Seats and tables give carers a place to rest and eat while children play, and the reserve's garden area and shade trees add greenery to the setting.

St James Reserve prohibits alcohol, ball games, bicycles and skateboards, so kicking, throwing or hitting balls is not allowed and bikes and boards must stay off the grounds.
