Mildura Reserve

If you’ve got a crawler or a wobbly toddler, this little Campsie park is genuinely one of the better spots in the area. The enclosed play space means you’re not constantly doing that anxious sprint after a runner, which any parent of a one-year-old will appreciate. It’s quiet — like, actually quiet — which makes a big difference when you’re trying to have five minutes of calm with a small human. The open grass field is great for letting them just do their thing without too much getting in the way. Keeps things simple, keeps things clean, and honestly that’s all you need sometimes.
