A scenic view of a city skyline from a park with lush green grass. In the foreground, there’s a well-maintained lawn bordered by dense shrubbery and plants. A wooden bench and a metal handrail are visible, suggesting a walking path or viewpoint. The middle ground shows more greenery and trees with autumnal foliage. In the background, modern high-rise buildings stand under a clear blue sky.
A park with a wooden bench on the left, positioned along a paved pathway. Sunlight filters through the branches of a tree on the right, creating a starburst effect. Lush greenery surrounds the area, and a moss-covered rock face is partially visible behind the bench. The sky is clear and blue.
An outdoor scene featuring a large tree with white bark on the left, lush greenery on the right, and multi-level playground equipment with yellow slides in the center. Behind these elements are tiered retaining walls and residential buildings under a clear blue sky.

This reserve is a great picnic spot with water views and a children's playground. An elevator located between the reserve and Gibba Park provides access to Pirrama Road.
