About Jarvie Park
Playground at Jarvie Park
Jarvie Park has a playground with forts, slides, swings and see-saws for children from around three years old through to primary school age. A June 2025 upgrade added a waterplay area and shade sails over the play equipment. The playground is not fenced, so younger children need supervision. A path links the playground to the basketball court, and the draft 10-year master plan proposes further playground upgrades at Jarvie Park.
Basketball and Fitness at Jarvie Park
Jarvie Park has a basketball court and an outdoor fitness station with calisthenics equipment. Outdoor gym equipment and pickleball line marking were completed in November 2025, so the park supports pickleball as well as basketball. The basketball court sits on a slope, its ground has cracks, and the rim and backboard need repair. The draft master plan proposes resurfacing the basketball court at Jarvie Park.
Picnics and BBQs at Jarvie Park
Jarvie Park has picnic tables, benches and BBQs; the picnic tables and BBQs were completed in August 2025, and extra seating was added in June 2025. Shade sails over the playground also shade the nearby seating on hot days. Jarvie Park suits birthday parties, family picnics and short breaks, and casual gatherings of under 30 people need no booking or cost. The draft master plan proposes covered picnic areas and additional BBQ spaces.
