About Kanangra Reserve
Playground at Kanangra Reserve

A footpath runs around the park, linking the play area to the rest of the reserve. Trees surround the playground, giving the play area shade cover from the sun. The reserve sits next to a large water reservoir, so the playground is set in a small, contained space with natural surroundings. Kanangra Reserve suits young children who want climbing and sliding in a quiet local setting.
