Goodale Reserve

My understanding is that this reserve was only the section in the fenced area and the other play equipment was part of the AA Bailey Recreation Ground (see review of that name). I may be mistaken, however this toddler playground sure is fun!
It’s fully fenced with some shade from the trees surrounding it (this would depend on the time of day of course). The pirate ship is enough to make me want to check it out and bellow my ‘Me hearties!‘
There’s a table/​chair, again not under much shade. When I was there this place had children all over every piece of equipment so I felt a little silly about checking it out too closely. Unfortunately that means I didn’t get to see if there was a drinking fountain. Perhaps this is excuse to take my daughter here :-)
*No dogs allowed*

A delightful playground just waiting to be discovered by the little ones and pirate wannabes.
Nestled in a shady reserve within the Clarence Gardens neighbourhood is a fun and ready to discover pirate ship. Bring your swords, pirate telescope and a clear chest, as you bellow your «Arrrrrrr» to your fellow pirate mates.
For those with Spidey skills, take charge over the spidey tower and show off your climbing prowess.
Later, take a steep walk along sandy steps till you get to a slippery dip and bowl your way down. A guaranteed dose of joy awaits every player.
Plenty of swings, slides and mini rocking horses to gallop away in the sunset.
Perfect for a barbie as they have excellent BBQ facilities, a covered area with benches and lots of grassy area to throw a picnic or just take a nanna nap.
Don’t bring your pooches here as this is strictly for kids!
