Playground at Samuel Park
Samuel Park has a playground built around climbing equipment and a slide, with a swing set beside it. The play area is small, which suits younger children on a shorter visit to a park in Vaucluse. Dogs are kept at least 10 metres from the playground at Samuel Park, so families bringing a dog should keep their pet well clear of the play area at all times.
Tennis Courts at Samuel Park
Samuel Park has tennis courts, which the managing council lists among its sporting facilities. The courts are the only sports facility confirmed for the reserve, so they give players a place to hit a ball within easy reach of Vaucluse's main shopping strip. Samuel Park's courts sit on New South Head Road, making them one of the few places in Vaucluse where a racquet sport can be played close to the village centre.
