Purdon and Featherstone Reserve

Battery Point is one of those suburbs where you half expect to see a convict-era ghost wandering the lanes, so having a reserve tucked in here feels pretty fitting. It’s a quiet spot — the kind of place locals know about but you won’t find overrun with tourists. Good for letting kids stretch their legs while you soak up that distinctly old Hobart atmosphere that this part of town does better than anywhere else.
