“Great for my adventurous 2 year old and my 6 year old alike. Shade sails are great too. Shady in the morning with the trees to the east.”

Overview
Portsea Reserve blends modern playground engineering with the natural Chatswood bush setting. The centrepiece tower complex connects via a rope bridge to a spiral slide — exciting for two-year-olds and equally engaging for six-year-olds. Shade sails cover the main structures; mature trees to the east provide additional morning shade. The natural design integrates with the surrounding bush rather than sitting against it. Free entry. No public toilets on site — plan accordingly.
