Upgrade works are now completed on the southern side of Eastern Reserve.

Eastern Reserve - northern side

New fencing is currently being erected on the northern side of Eastern Reserve. The use of fencing in this area as outlined in the concept design has been informed by community feedback as a way to create a safer open space environment for active and passive recreation for all ages.

The fence is located to the outside of trees to maximise available space in the park and ensure the two sides of Eastern Reserve look consistent.

Following completion of works at the northern side of Eastern Reserve, this area has been identified as a location for an off leash dog trial.
