★★★★★Featured review by Ian P

Lots of work going on in the club rooms on the opposite side of the oval car parking has been reduced unfortunately so to go down to the bottom oval can be a long walk

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best suited to families already in the Mount Evelyn area or passing through the Dandenong Ranges on a hills day trip. The reserve offers space to kick a ball and enjoy the leafy surroundings alongside the playground. Parking near the playground is currently sparse — factor in a short walk from the main oval car park.
