Adare Reserve

If you’re after a wide open stretch of grass where the kids can just run without hitting a piece of equipment every five seconds, this is your spot. Adare Reserve in Killarney Heights is pretty low-key — no play structures, no bells and whistles — just a solid open field that’s great for a kick of the footy or a lazy afternoon picnic. Killarney Heights Oval is close by if you need more facilities, and there are cafes and shops nearby to sort out the essentials. Sometimes the simple ones are exactly what you need.
