About Joels Reserve
Grassy Top Lawn at Joels Reserve
Joels Reserve has a large, flat grassy area at its top section that is suited to leisurely strolls and picnics. The upper lawn has one wooden bench as its only seating. Nearby houses and lush vegetation mean the top section offers no real views, so the lawn works as open ground to walk across rather than a lookout. Its flat surface makes the grass easy to walk across before the path heads toward the water.
Historic Joels Boatshed Remnants at Joels Reserve
Joels Reserve contains remnants of the historic Joels Boatshed, which stand at the foreshore below the park's top lawn. The walking track leads down to this foreshore, where the old boatshed remains can be seen. Their presence links the reserve to a boating past that the grassy upper section does not reflect. The remnants are the park's clearest historic feature, and they are kept in the reserve as a reminder of the site's waterside use.
Walking Track and Waterfront Views at Joels Reserve
Joels Reserve has a walking track that leads down to the foreshore. Along the water's edge, the path and boardwalks offer views out over the water, which the top section of the park does not provide. The lower end of the track is where the tranquil waterside vistas open up. Because the upper lawn has no real views, walkers use the track to move from the grassy top to the waterfront.
