About Opala Reserve
Ball Games on the Open Space at Opala Reserve
Opala Reserve provides an open space suited to ball games, which is the reserve's defining use. Its open ground lets visitors play informal ball games in the open air, and the reserve is currently listed as open to the public. Ball games sit alongside picnicking as the two named uses of the open space, so a group heading there for a game has room to spread out across the ground.
Picnic Use of the Open Space at Opala Reserve
Opala Reserve is also suited to picnics, the second activity confirmed for its open space. Picnickers can use the open ground for a meal outdoors, and this use runs alongside the reserve's ball game use. Opala Reserve therefore serves groups who want a casual outdoor lunch as well as those who come to play, and both uses share the same open ground during a single visit.
