Chirnside Park: Play Areas, Wetland and Dog Park

Chirnside Park can be considered when planning leisure activities based on the specific features of its reserves. The following differences are especially helpful if you want to combine a stay with particular activities or landscape features.

Botanica Reserve: Play Area and Wetland

The fenced play area at Botanica Reserve includes several different features: a large rope climbing dome, several swings and a long, curved yellow slide. A steep climb leads up to the slide. The facilities are complemented by a wooden and stone balance trail, totem poles arranged like a small maze, a large log bench and a small wooden bridge.

The playground is fully fenced and has two entrances. A blue-painted concrete path runs through the play area and provides a designated space for scooters. This means that, when choosing, you can consider the path surface and the intended use for scooters as well as the play equipment.

At the lowest point of Botanica Reserve is a wetland with extensive reed beds. This means the reserve offers both designed play facilities and a landscape feature. If you want to consider the landscape as well as the play equipment, the wetland is a distinct aspect of Botanica Reserve.

Kimberley Reserve: Dog Agility Park

Kimberley Reserve is home to a 5,000-square-metre fenced dog agility park. Dogs can run off leash there. The dog agility park is in the north-western part of the reserve. Its features include an agility area, a tunnel and gardens to explore. Logs provide seating, and there is also a water tap. If you are planning a trip with a dog, the size of the area and the designated off-leash space are specific distinguishing features. The agility area, tunnel, gardens, seating and water tap add further details to the picture of the park.

Belsay Reserve Chirnside Urban Park

At Belsay Reserve Chirnside Urban Park, information boards about various flying animals and a balloon play structure are a focus. The structure is described as the first of its kind in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere. For orientation, this gives the park a different focus from the play equipment and path features at Botanica Reserve or the dog agility park at Kimberley Reserve: here, an animal-related theme is combined with a distinctive play structure.

Different focuses for your stay

The three reserves can be distinguished according to the interests described: Botanica Reserve combines play equipment and path features with a wetland; Kimberley Reserve focuses on dog agility and off-leash exercise; and information about flying animals and a balloon play structure define the profile of Belsay Reserve Chirnside Urban Park. This lets you weigh up exactly which leisure features matter to you when choosing your stay.
