Starkey Reserve

If you live up in Killarney Heights, you probably already know about this one. The spider web climbing structure gets a solid workout from local kids, and the swings are the good kind — actually fun, not the toddler-only variety. There’s a decent bike track and a big open grass field that gives everyone room to spread out without feeling on top of each other. Grab a picnic table and you’ve got yourself a genuinely relaxed afternoon. It’s a low-key spot, but that’s exactly the point.
