Play, watch and learn
published in sb magazine 4/2022
Julia Reserve Youth Park provides two hectares of diverse recreational, social and leisure opportunities that respond to the need for flexible, robust and vibrant open space in which to play, watch and learn. A large informal lawn, skate precinct, parkour facilities, ping pong tables, kickabout areas, multi-purpose courts, arbour structure, pedestrian network and picnic facilities cater for a wide range of age groups, skill sets and recreational interest. The park’s position on Julia Creek called for complex stormwater management solutions.
