Wally Tew Reserve is still a firm favourite with local families, and it’s easy to see why.
The flying fox continues to steal the show, with kids racing back up the hill for “just one more go” (and then five more after that). The slides are fast and fun, perfect for slightly older adventurers who love to climb high and zip down fast.
We have another upgraded pocket park and this one is lots of fun. The playground encourages lots of imaginary play with the cafe set up, as well as tic tac toe and a driving game.
