Reservoir Reserves has announced that a new nature playground at the picturesque metropolitan Hope Valley Reservoir Reserve is now open, adding to the 4.9 kilometres of trail already on offer for leisurely family walks and bike rides.
The Agency said the playground featured log climbing scrambles; stepping stones and logs; wooden tepees; balancing logs; and a nature play creek bed which combine adventure and nature for a fun day out for families.
It said picnic tables, chairs and drinking fountains, as well as plenty of grass to run around on or kick a ball, surrounded the nature playground in the north-western corner of the Reserve, which provided stunning views over the reservoir towards the hills.
The Agency said the new playground was part of an additional $170,000 contribution at the site that also added three individual workout stations in the same area of the reserve for anyone to access and break a sweat.
It said exercise lovers could complement their run or walk with a range of workout options by using the static fitness equipment, including pull-up and push-up bars; leg raisers; and abdominal workout benches.
