Playground and Picnic Area at Cowper Street Reserve
Cowper Street Reserve has a playground for children and picnic tables for outdoor meals and small gatherings. Park benches give carers somewhere to sit while children play, and water fountains let visitors refill a drink. Cowper Street Reserve is a leashed-dog park rather than an off-leash area, so dogs must stay on a lead and owners must clean up after them.
