Alfred Henry Whaling Memorial Reserve

They've almost finished the new rose garden near the waves pool and sports field. Beautiful flowers and dog friendly. Public toilets are nearby.

A good place to training including marked tracks running, long jumping. One thing need to improve is there is not any public toilets open on Sundays. There are only toilets located in the swimming center next to the track running areas.

Great sports venue, equipped with a 400m track, 100m and 50m tracks, shotput, discus and hammer throw cages. It’s got 3 long jump pits just to mention the main facilities. It’s got two sets of toilets and free parking as well as seating and bubblers. The fields have large lights to provide visibility at night. It also has a playground that is great for kids. It’s is right next to waves aquatic centre as well. It is public ally accessible and free. There is a canteen, but only open when the place is booked. Overall, the place is great and I have had many fun athletics carnivals there.

Beautiful displays of roses. Well laid out garden beds. Besides ensuring all roses have name plates, my only suggestion to improve the experience - specifically for anyone in a wheelchair- would be to install a small ramp from the upper carpark to the access path to save wheelchair users and their enablers the last steep push to street level when exiting the gardens. If there is an allocated disabled parking area maybe signpost it in all the carparks so we find the most accessible parking.

this is a full fledged ground for athletes with clear tracks. But there is not much of trails for walking. However very closeby is the Elizabeth Rose garden which if visited during the peak seasons will offer variety of roses for viewing which will definitely be an enjoyable sight
