Review:

There's a smallish bushland area in the centre of the reserve which is fenced off. There is a seat near the road. An indistinct track runs around the bushland area.

On one side there is a locked fence separating the reserve from a Department of defence property. A grassy area winds down to the south where there's a playground with bin and table but no water tap.
