Mofflin Health and Wellness Reserve

The new park site is an undeveloped portion of land next to a sports precinct immediately to the north and is bordered by mature trees.

Although there are two large sportsgrounds immediately to the north of the site, there are almost no facilities for unstructured recreation in the area (aside from one small playspace located between the athetics oval and Mofflin Road off-street car park).  This development will provide a space that encourages physical activity for people of different ages and abilities as well as providing quiet space for rest and recuperation.  

Research has demonstrated a clear link between being in open spaces and positive physical and mental health outcomes.  The Mofflin Health and Wellness Reserve will complement the nearby health services by providing space to walk, sit, develop social connections, be active and simply spend time in open space.   It will service people working in the area, people visiting the nearby health and retail services, local residents and the wider community.

The upgrade of this reserve includes:

• Walking and running loop track
• Feature playspace that includes an obstacle course, flying fox, nature play, shade (with partial fencing along Mofflin Road)
• All-abilities play equipment
• Fitness node
• Basketball key
• Seating, shelter and BBQs space
• Grassed area irrigated via the existing ASR system
• Therapeutic raised garden space with a combination of ‘sensory’ plants to touch and smell and traditional medicinal plants
• Quiet seating areas
• Tree planting
• Entry signage
• Public lighting along key pedestrian pathways
• Provision of indented on-street angle car parking and sealing of the existing off-street car park.
• Public toilet block
• CCTV
