Waverley Street Reserve Playground

It’s a modest little park that does the job well for local families wanting a quick outing without driving across town. The young trees are still getting established, so shade is pretty limited right now — worth keeping that in mind on hot days and packing sunscreen. That said, this is the kind of low-key neighbourhood spot where kids can just run around without the chaos of a bigger destination park. Mitcham locals with littles nearby will find themselves coming back regularly just for the convenience of it.
