John McEwen Reserve Playground

Locals with kids know this one’s a solid pick, especially if you’ve got a mix of ages to keep happy. The basketball court gets a good workout on weekends — you’ll often find older kids shooting hoops while the younger ones do their thing on the playground. It’s an urban reserve, so everything’s right there without any fuss, and the accessibility is genuinely good rather than just ticking a box. Worth keeping in your rotation if you’re in the Shepparton area.
