Glade Crescent Reserve

Welcome to Glade Crescent Reserve, a regional playground located in Hallett Cove, Australia. This establishment is not just your ordinary park, but a point of interest and tourist attraction that offers a wide range of activities for both children and adults.

Upgraded in 2013, Glade Crescent Reserve boasts a stunning wetland development and the addition of new shade sails in 2017. As you explore this beautiful reserve, you'll find a grassed terraced amphitheater, enhanced planting, and open space. The reserve is conveniently situated along the Coast to Vines Rail Trail, allowing visitors to easily access the park while enjoying the surrounding natural beauty.

For the little ones, the junior playground offers a plethora of entertainment options. The three mound slides, including two tall slides and one small slide, are perfect for a group of friends to slide down together. A shade sail was added in 2017, ensuring protection from the sun throughout the day. At the bottom of the slides, you'll find a grassy kick-about area with stunning views of the wetlands. Additionally, children can challenge themselves on the rocky river with log bridges or embark on their own archeological excavation in the sand pit to discover dinosaur fossils.

Imaginative engineers will be enthralled by the bright red train, while agile climbers can test their skills on the climbing blocks. Swing enthusiasts will be pleased to find two basket swings and a baby swing, perfect for swaying and enjoying the outdoors.

At the southern end of the site, the senior playground awaits with its long zip-line flying fox surrounded by a compacted gravel bike circuit with mini-jumps. This area is sure to provide endless entertainment for older children and adults alike.

Glade Crescent Reserve is equipped with all the necessary facilities for a long stay-and-play experience. Numerous seating areas, shelters, and picnic tables are available, along with a couple of BBQs for those who wish to indulge in a delicious outdoor meal. A toilet is conveniently located on the Quailo Avenue side of the reserve, ensuring utmost convenience for visitors.

Additional amenities include bike stands, a drinking fountain, and lighting for those who wish to explore the reserve during the evening hours. In 2017, the Glade Crescent Wetland was developed as part of our commitment to being a Water Sensitive City. To learn more about this initiative, please visit our website.
