The Isabella Williams Memorial Reserve playground features a large eye-catching ‘volcano’ with tall climbing walls, nets and three long slides, including a yellow-covered twisted slide, emerging out of the volcano. Colourful play surfaces ‘ooze’ like lava down the sides of the volcano and around a sand pit.

Other children’s play equipment includes a large red ride-on tractor, a bird’s nest swing and a bright-blue spinning ‘super nova’. For older folk there is a fitness circuit with outdoor gym equipment. For everyone, there are shade shelters, barbeques, display gardens featuring indigenous flora, a lawn, shrubs and trees.
