Cummins Reserve Playground

Cummins Reserve is one of those quiet little spots in Novar Gardens that doesn’t get much fanfare, but if you’ve got a toddler in tow, it punches above its weight. The setup is simple — slides, swings, and a small trampoline that honestly steals the show for the under-3 crowd. Parents seem to appreciate how easy it is to keep an eye on kids here, with good sightlines across the space. There’s open grass alongside if you just want to kick a ball around or let little legs burn off some energy. It’s not flashy, but for the nappy bag brigade, it does the job well.
