Ruby Wing Reserve

If you’ve got runners — the kind of kids who bolt the second you look away — this spot in Mortdale is genuinely one of the better-fenced parks in the area. The enclosure is solid, which means you can actually relax instead of doing constant headcounts. There’s a decent stretch of open grass for kicking a ball around or just letting them tire themselves out, and the shaded play sections mean you’re not completely cooked on a summer afternoon. Good one for families juggling multiple little ones at once.
