Charles Riley Memorial Reserve

Locals around North Beach know this one well — and for good reason. The zipline alone keeps older kids busy while the slides and swings handle the younger ones, so everyone’s actually entertained at the same time. Throw in BBQs, picnic tables, and a proper soccer field and you’ve got a full afternoon sorted without much effort. Parking’s easy, the walking path is good for a post-lunch lap, and the open grass area gives kids room to just run around. It’s the kind of community reserve that gets genuinely well-used, which tells you everything.
