Birchfield Reserve

The Birchfield Reserve is a great little hidden gem in Wantirna South. While only small, it has so many features that make it the perfect place for countless children’s games.
There is a little playground with two swings that is, as usual, surrounded by tanbark. The area around this is pretty flat and has a good spread of grass. There is a long line of pine trees along one side of the park and they are perfect for the game «What’s the time Mr. Wolf» or even «Forty-​Forty». Hide and Seek would also be good, but it’d be pretty obvious that you would be hiding behind a tree because there is really nowhere else to hide!
The park doesn’t seem to be very well attended to as there were three trees lying on the ground that had fallen over at some point.
There are three paths that lead to the various exit points — two out of three are cement but one is loose stones and crunched up cement.
The birds here were really noisy but there was no other sound so it was actually really peaceful. The streets that border the Reserve are all courts or dead end streets and there is barely any traffic at all.
I really enjoyed spending time in this Reserve.
