Hillcrest Reserve

Welcome to Hillcrest Reserve, located at 26 Lisbeth Avenue in Donvale, Australia. This establishment is not just a park, but also a point of interest for the local community. Hillcrest Reserve offers a picturesque and well-vegetated environment, providing a range of opportunities for everyone to enjoy.

Despite the acquisition of a section of the reserve by VicRoads in 2006 for the construction of EastLink, Hillcrest Reserve still covers an area of 1.3 hectares. Although the bushland area that the reserve was once known for has been removed, the remaining space has been transformed into a beautiful and inviting space.

One of the highlights of Hillcrest Reserve is the tennis court, which was relocated due to the freeway construction. Currently, a local community club manages the court, but there are plans to open it up to the broader community for use. Imagine playing a friendly game of tennis surrounded by the natural beauty of the reserve.

For families with young children, Hillcrest Reserve offers a designated children's play area suitable for kids aged 1 to 5 years old. Here, children can have fun and explore in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Additionally, Hillcrest Reserve provides convenient access to the East Link Trail from both Lisbeth Avenue and Savaris Court. Whether you are a keen cyclist, jogger, or just enjoy a leisurely stroll, this trail offers a scenic and peaceful route to explore.
