There’s a few changes for the better, but unfortunately a few for the worse too. If you haven’t been before here’s a little snapshot of the key features of…… Continue reading PB Ronald Reserve

Highgrove Estate Newbridge Boulevard, Clyde North VIC Had to get out of the house today, so went to check out this cool park in Clyde North.

3 Ivanhoe Grove, Malvern East VIC What a find! This park isn’t new, but I only discovered it last week.

If you haven’t heard of a Livvi’s Place play space before, they are actually sort of a “chain” for lack of a better word.
