What people say
Benoit Park and Reserve looks small but is actually quite large. There’s a small playground with a bike path for littlies and a picnic table. Nice newish equipment and a bubbler, as well as a cow seat. Some afternoon and I assume morning shade as well. The site was formerly ‘Elmside Dairy’, run by Charles Benoit who moved to Valley Heights in the late 1800’s and established a dairy farm serving Springwood and Valley Heights locals from 1915 to 1946. The large bushland area off the back of the park is incorporated into the reserve and a bush are group is active there.

There's no park sign, but the playground is decent and there's a bubbler
