⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Point Malcolm Reserve is, I must declare, the Pemberley of playgrounds - vast, handsome, and possessed of so many amusements that one feels quite exhausted merely surveying them.

Super busy little place. Plenty of lawn area, big kids playground, flying fox and an exercise area on one side. Then the courts - tennis and basketball in brand new condition. And then the littler kids area with plenty of climbing, music, trampolines, sandpit and water play. BBQ facilities, not too many bench seats around though. Lots of walking paths and toilets at semaphore surf club.

It has gym equipments at one section for anyone wanting a workout. There are multiple BBQs stove...
