No Playground

This is an off-leash park where dogs can exercise off-leash, except within 5 metres of a playground, at a wetland or when organised sport is being played.

There are no toilets at this reserve. Find the nearest one on the National Public Toilet Map.

Tarturninthi is adjacent to Trowbridge Avenue Reserve.

Although situated next to a busy road, it only takes a few steps for the calming effect of this site to take hold. Ducks regularly congregate in the pond and the winding overflow river has bridges should it get full on a stormy day.

There are a seats through the reserve and various pathways connecting across.
