About Virginius Reserve
Off-Leash Dog Area at Virginius Reserve
Virginius Reserve has a fenced off-leash dog area located within the reserve on Virginius Street. The fenced dog park has a double-gated entry, which lets owners secure the first gate before releasing their dog. The dog area includes a water station, benches and a small agility set. Owners must stay inside the fence with their dog, and every dog must be under effective control. Collars and registration tags must be worn, and waste goes in the bins provided. Virginius Reserve has no separate small-dog area, so small dogs share the space with larger dogs. The dog area is unlit, which makes the Virginius Reserve dog park best used in daylight or early evening.

The playground has toddler-friendly equipment, which makes Virginius Reserve a suitable choice for families with toddlers. Seats and tables sit at the playground, so parents and carers can rest while children play. Toilets are available at the playground. The playground is lit, so Virginius Reserve's play area can be used into the early evening. Its fenced boundary keeps young children contained while adults supervise.
Outdoor Gym at Virginius Reserve

The Activo equipment is arranged in a straight line to form a circuit for a full-body workout. The six stations are a cross trainer, chest press, rider, sit-up plank, lat pull-down and bike. The long-lasting stainless steel elements of the outdoor gym are built to serve the community for years to come. Visitors can move from station to station in order around the circuit.
