Valley Reserve

Nice little wooden-acrobatics Park.
You will enjoy the nets and the wooden piles, climbing is not challenging but it's fun.

Love Valley Reserve. Walking, cycling, playground, listen to the birds, steps, flat, etc. Just a variety here and never over crowded. Very nice.

Great place, a 'rope and climb' park for kids, different than the standard parks, with some great, short walking trails.

Great adventures to be had, but i imagine it would get very hot during the Summer. Add a splash area and it would practically be perfect.

Really great playground. Natural looking with Lots of wood and less plastic. Better for older kids as there’s lots of climbing. Really like the educational parts of the park like displays and pictures of the animals. The walks are nice too, would be great if there was more wildlife around.

I hadn't visited in a few years and wow how it's changed. It was always a lovely secluded reserve with lots of open spaces, but now they have transformed the main area near the BBQ rotunda into a beautiful playground/art installation. Lots of room for kids to play and explore with native bird sculptures, as well as the usual walking tracks and a modest amount of parking

Great place for kids with an awesome playground, although it's probably better suited for older kids 6+ years of age. The walking tracks are also quite interesting, not too long, but still good considering the suburban location of the park itself. I would certainly recommend a visit to the park, as we had a good time and even saw lots of native birds. The one negative was that the boys toilets were closed.

Fantastic adventure playground and information fisplays, serene and varied bushwalk featuring native flora and birdlife.

I had a really lovely time exploring the urban bushland while on the trail of several geocaches. Didn't know there was such a great playground here as well as such a well maintained equipped toilet. There was ample parking as well. We owe much also to Alf Salkin for his pioneering work in conservation as well as the others who followed in his footsteps such that we have this to enjoy today.

Great natural place space for kids, lots of ropes, things to climb, platforms, slides, a flying fox and a sand pit. Set in bushy surroundings, you'd hardly know you're in the suburbs. It's got great BBQ facilities, lots of tables and also toilets and plenty of parking. I'd highly recommend it for a family visit.

Lovely park with multiple playgrounds for kids and multiple pathways to follow. There are also wide open spaces which are good for gatherings since there are benches and tables too.
Paths can be slightly confusing and unclearly marked in some intersections

It's a pretty special place. The more you learn about it the more amazing it gets. It's one of the few original bits of nature that shows what mount Waverley was like before development. There are a few very rare trees here and a wide variety of native trees and plants. It also looks like it is the start of s Scotchmans creek.

This is a great playground with lots of rope climbing structures of varying complexity. Some shaded table areas but not many. There's a water section which is often overlooked but no actual water play, like a water pump.

Great spot for a BBQ. Playground equipment is fantastic and the walks are great. Good spot to walk your dog aswell

We go here for BBQs. Plenty of hotplates, tables and a sheltered area. Large playground, good walking tracks. They have really improved this reserve over the years.

Such a great park for the little ones to play. The playground itself is mainly wood & ropes. The range of activities such as the nature trail and flying fox are enjoyable for a broad range of ages. Good undercover seating for picnics/ birthdays. They do fill up quickly though. I was impressed that they have recycling bins as well as ones for regular landfill.

Magical park. The kids love it. Nature in the middle of the city. The playground is for older kids though. I'm here on Sunday and there is a children's party on. Seems like a great place to celebrate. The place is packed but you can still find a secluded place to relax. Heaps of seating. Plenty safe.

Great facilities for young kids to explore: Ropes, slides and swings for all ages.
It also has BBQ spots and tables under the shade.
It is also connected to cycling tracks.
Not very wide however it could be busy at times.
Warmly recommended

Wonderful parkland. There are nice trails through the trees, very good for birdwatching and very quiet despite being so close to main roads. Then there is the playground. It is one of the best I've ever played on! It has a large tyre swing, a flying fox, a rope course and beautiful bird sculptures at the edge of the playground. Such a great place just to walk around in.

Great family spot. Has the works. Huge playground, undercover areas, bbqs, dunnys and walking tracks.
