About Bunyarra Drive Reserve
Playspace at Bunyarra Drive Reserve
Bunyarra Drive Reserve has a playspace built around a multiplay unit with a slide and swings. A shade sail covers the playspace, keeping children out of the sun in warm weather, and seating sits nearby. Soft-fall surfacing surrounds the equipment, most of it loose fill. The Bunyarra Reserve Playspace project ran from 2019 to 2020 and is marked complete. Penrith City Council funded the works at a cost of $155,336, covering new play equipment, more shade, seating and landscaping, so the reserve now suits young children and older kids alike.
Picnic Tables and Shelter at Bunyarra Drive Reserve
Bunyarra Drive Reserve has picnic tables for family picnics. A steel shelter with bench seats stands over one table, giving picnickers a shaded place to sit and eat. The shade sails over the playspace add more shaded seating close by. Open grass and trees surround the picnic area, so Bunyarra Drive Reserve suits a relaxed family meal outdoors among the greenery, with a rubbish bin on site.
Walking Paths at Bunyarra Drive Reserve
Bunyarra Drive Reserve has walking paths through lush greenery and trees. The pathways are wheelchair accessible, so people using wheelchairs or strollers can move through the reserve, and they link the walking areas with the playspace. The paths suit a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk among open spaces. Grass around the park can grow high in places, so walkers should keep to the paths.
