Karinya Reserve

This is quite a good set up. There’s a decent playground, plus BBQs, plus sheltered table/​chairs, plus a drinking fountain (unheard of for Mitcham Council!), plus table/​chairs in the open under the trees, plus toilets, plus a skate park!
And yet, I haven’t given it a five star review? Other five star review playgrounds have had more equipment, and this one is just a little lacking, but still good. Some shade sails over the equipment would have definitely got it five stars.
Great place!

Karinya Reserve is tucked behind shady trees amidst a greenery haven. Nestled along Shepherds Hill Road, this is a fantastic and large playground for the whole family!
You’ll find your usual suspects here, swings, slides, a little action tower with a pirate telescope and large roller Tic Tac Toe game. They are only better though, with long slides to glide down and lots of climbing bars for the kids to have hours of fun.
Large area to kick a ball or chase the kids. My favourite bit is there is a short bushwalk trail within the playground compund, take the kids and spot termites and ants hills, and look out for chirping birds.
This is a perfect place to host your child’s birthday party as there is an electric barbeque facility, a shade seating area and plenty of benches. Parking is plentiful, so no worries there!
Next to the playground is a skateboard ramp and a soccer field. Put this one in your ‘Favourite Playgrounds’ folder.
