Barry Warren Reserve in Elizabeth Downs received an upgrade in mid 2025 and reoffers loads of fun for families, adventurers and bike-loving kids!
The playground features a colourful multi-play tower complete with portholes, a large undercover slide, and a smaller slide, perfect for kids of all ages.
Right next door is the much-loved pump track, which has quickly become a local favourite since its launch during the first stage of upgrades to this play space and you’ll also find AFL and soccer goals, making it such a great all round spot for a play, ride, picnic and kick around.
A fantastic, well thought out facility for local families, there is ample parking but no toilets sadly.
