Booran Reserve
Our award-winning Booran Reserve is one of our best examples of providing play opportunities for all. With universal design principles, it offers great access and stimulating play areas for all ages and abilities.
Colourful and gently sloped pathways allow intuitive movement and help if you have limited vision or mobility. Smaller accessible paths weave and explore through shrubs, plantings and running water. There is also a raised sandpit and water pump feature designed to provide wheelchair access.
