This is a great playground. Our Smallie loves everything about it, especially the big slide & all 3 swing choices. Forgot to take photo today!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for Massey families with children who love slides and swings and want an uncrowded, tree-lined play space. The updated equipment is the clear draw. Bring water, snacks, and a rubbish bag for every visit β€” the lack of amenities is absolute. Check the perimeter edges for wire hazards before letting children roam freely.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

⏰Pack out all rubbish as no bins are provided anywhere in the reserve
🎟️Check the perimeter edges for exposed wire before letting children run freely

β€œSpargo reserve is surrounded by trees. The older play park has now been updated with a new climbing frame and slides. Plenty of space to kick a ball around but no amenities. Not a common park in use so good if you want uninterrupted play.”

β€œA small reserve which has a walking path way for a walk around the reserve and it also has playground for kids. A small open area for outdoor games and specially for dog lovers as enough space for them to play around. It is open 24 by 7.”

β€œIt's OK... But council should place a rubbish bin, a drinking water fountain and maybe a toilet as well. Also about a year ago I reported to the council some very sharp wires around the edge which I think can be dangerous for the kids. Nothing happened since...”

Overview

Spargo Reserve features a recently updated playground with a new climbing frame, slides, and three swing variations set among trees. A walking path circles the reserve alongside open grass for ball games and dog exercise. The reserve is open around the clock. No toilets, rubbish bins, or drinking fountains are provided β€” families need to bring supplies and take rubbish out with them. Sharp wire hazards around the edge were reported to council several years ago with no confirmed resolution.
