Wattle Reserve Playground

Just a short walk from the beach, this fenced reserve is one of those spots that actually delivers on all fronts. The shade trees make a real difference on hot summer days when the sun off the coast is brutal, and parents can relax knowing the enclosure means kids aren’t going anywhere fast. There’s a basketball court and walking path for older kids and adults who want to keep moving. It’s kept in solid condition — not the kind of place you show up to find broken equipment and weeds everywhere. Grab a coffee from the van nearby and you’ve basically got a full morning sorted.
