Lighting in the Reserve

New lighting is installed around the Active Precinct allowing skaters to enjoy the space until 9pm.  Lights on the skate park and pump track will dim to half strength at 8:45pm and then switch-off completely at 9pm.  The path lighting in this precinct will remain on.

Dogs on-leash

Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of playgrounds and play equipment, even if they are on leash. We ask that you take care to observe this within the All-abilities treehouse playground.
