Surrounded by established native vegetation, Thornton Street Reserve provides a peaceful environment for outdoor recreation, nature appreciation and play.
The reserve features walking opportunities through native vegetation and a nature-inspired playground that encourages children to explore, climb and connect with the outdoors.
Set among the reserve's native vegetation, the playground blends naturally into the surrounding landscape and offers a range of play experiences for younger and primary school-aged children.
Timber play structures and natural materials complement the bushland character of the reserve, creating an inviting space for outdoor play that is reminiscent of more traditional playgrounds in Eltham.
The playground features a timber play tower with climbing access, a slide, swings, balancing elements, stepping logs and a spinner. These play opportunities encourage children to develop balance, coordination, strength and confidence while engaging in imaginative and active play.
The combination of nature, movement-based play and open space makes the playground an appealing destination for families seeking a quieter play experience within a natural setting.
