A sports oval is part of this reserve but the most interesting part is a sizable area of bushland.
The Wallace Road entrance.
A level, wide asphalt path runs through the centre which would make it very wheel chair friendly.
The wide path through the reserve.
There are two entrance paths from Wallace Road and both lead to a small playground area in a nice bush setting.

Continuing past the playground the path passes through bush areas with mature gum trees and in some places, dense undergrowth.
An interesting tree.
A couple of large shrubs were in flower which adds a little light and shade to your walk, even if the sun is not out.
One of several throughout the reserve.
Getting closer.
On occasions, specimens of small colourful flowers caught my attention.
A small splash of yellow.
The bush area appears to be quite old judging by the large number of long dead trees, both vertical and horizontal.
One of many dead horizontal trees.
More logs.
The lack of floral flora was made up by many small areas of native grasses, not colourful, but interesting.
Native grasses.
Interesting up close.
Frequent diversions into the bush saw my camera pointed at these objects of interest.
A spiky one.
Past its prime.
Disappointingly, few birds were seen or heard, not even one magpie. The many tall dead trees would make an ideal perch for them to alight upon to make clear photos. One distant Indian myna was my only avian subject.
Not its best angle.
It would appear that this reserve was popular with local residents for a short walk for both them and their dogs.

This would be a very suitable walk to introduce very young ones to a short bush experience, with the bonus of a playground.
Keeping watch.
There is a small off road car park near the entrance to the sports ovals.
Opposite the Wallace Road entrance, is a short reserve, aptly named the Wallace Reserve.
