Allan Birt Reserve Playground

Cape Paterson locals know this little reserve is best used as part of a bigger beach day — let the kids burn off some energy here before or after hitting the water. It’s a simple setup, nothing flash, but that’s kind of the point. The beach is right there, so you’re never really relying on the playground alone to keep the 3-to-10 crowd entertained. Good for a quick stop, not an all-day destination.
