Poole Reserve Playground

Locals know Poole Reserve as one of those no-frills spots that does exactly what it needs to — gives the neighbourhood somewhere to breathe. It’s not going to blow anyone away with elaborate equipment, but that’s kind of the point. Coogee families use it as a casual meet-up spot, and being close to nearby shops means you can grab a coffee and let the kids run around without making a whole thing of it. Sometimes a simple patch of green is all you need.
