About Clarke Reserve
Playground at Clarke Reserve
Clarke Reserve has a playground that received additional play equipment during its 2018–2019 upgrade. The rubber soft-fall surface beneath the play area was repaired as part of the same works, which were jointly funded by the NSW Government and are marked complete. Clarke Reserve's playground area also sits alongside new planting and a new garden fence, which give the play space a defined edge within the reserve.
Dog Rules and Dog Water at Clarke Reserve
Dogs must stay on a leash at Clarke Reserve, so the reserve does not offer an off-leash dog area. A drinking fountain with a dog bowl was installed at the reserve during the council's upgrade works, and it is the only dog-specific facility at the reserve. Visitors bringing a dog can use that fountain for water while walking the reserve on a lead.
