Kim Rutherford Reserve

Locals in Epping know this one as a bit of a secret — when Rawson Park gets overrun on weekends, Kim Rutherford Reserve is where you head instead. The fully enclosed play area means you can actually relax on one of the benches without spending the whole time chasing kids toward the street. It’s quiet, low-key, and honestly better for it. Good for younger kids and older ones too, and because it doesn’t pull big crowds, there’s usually space to actually breathe.
