Percy Doyle is activity central. If you’re looking for a one stop activity hot spot this is it. Boasting a lush oval and several sporting fields this abundance of space is constantly buzzing with activity. Ideal for kicking the ball or busting out the frisbee as well as letting your dog run free, this reserve makes me appreciate the small things in life– like space and green grass. The shade supplied by the oaks provides some privacy from the busy roads and situated only a short hop skip and a jump from the tennis courts next door, the motivation to get moving is in full swing! This reserve captures the basics of business development with a subtle suburban charm. Even if exercise isn’t your«thing» grab a book from the near by library and just chill in the shade appreciating the diversity of the space.

The Percy Doyle Reserve is a hive of community and sporting activity, with four sporting grounds, a public library and leisure centre, and infrastructure that currently services some forty sporting groups. It has a large area for parking at its centre, within easy walking distance of the tennis courts and bowling green, and in general is one of the more impressive such reserves in the area. Couched between Warwick Road, Marmion Avenue and Chessell Drive, it is perfectly situated and easily accessible, and even if one doesn’t much go in for, say, lawn bowls, there are still plenty of grassy areas to walk or run around, and it’s a nice reserve to drive through, too.
