Construction of the first stage of improvements is now complete, and the Reserve is open for visiting once more. The completed park improvements include:

• The creation of a brighter and challenging play environment on the embankment with play equipment including a tubular slide, a large climbing net, balance beams and timber stepping posts.
• New footpaths, picnic settings, seating and a drinking fountain.
• New garden beds established with extensive plantings of shrubs and perennials.

These improvements are proposed to be followed with a second stage upgrade with available funding determined over coming months. This stage is expected to include tree planting; a swing set, picnic settings and the establishment of garden beds with tree, shrub and perennial plantings in the southern half of the Reserve.
