Climbing the steps to the slide, walking along the poles and spying a helicopter in the sky made an action-packed outing for three-year-old Toby Seward as he explored the new Ascot Reserve in Berryfields with his mum Marianne.
The reserve, with a mix of playground and open space, is just a short walk down the street for the pair who says it’s a welcome addition to the community.
“This is awesome. These little parks are handy because you can walk to them and get to meet your neighbours,” Marianne says.
The 2,770 square metre reserve sits between Bedfont and Ascot streets and has the essentials of a swing, slide and rocks to scramble over, plus seating.
Fruit and feature trees will provide shade in the future, with green space to run around.
