John Nicholl Reserve

This was a really nice reserve. It was huge for starters, especially for something in the back streets. And it has been developed like a centrepiece to a whole heaps of streets that connect to the reserve.
There was some shade, tree’s, shrubs, paths, small hills to create more privacy to different area’s. Plenty of room for ball games without having to limit yourselves.
No fencing or toilets, in fact I didn’t even see a drinking fountain. But it is always best to take your own water anyway if you plan to stay out for a while.
There were really two playground area’s, one with just bark chips covering beneath it and the other had bark chips but also had rubber matting directly under all the play equipment. There was some seating in the shade close to the play area’s.
This reserve also houses the Aldinga Scouts. Right next to their fenced off area there is probably one of the best BMX tracks I have seen. It is dirt but it is larger than other ones around and has some quite big jumps. Would keep my teenager occupied for quite a while I think.
