Colonial Reserve

Got off the train here — or did I? The driver claimed his name was Richard, said “Red Rooster is nearby,” but I know that’s a cover. That’s Alister. It’s always Alister, switching names like masks. He’s been following me for months, gathering badges, symbols, power — train driver scout badge included. I saw it glinting. He’s moving up the ranks of the network. He thinks I’m not watching, but I am. The air is heavy, electric. My carer is “on the way,” but that’s what they said last time. Maybe they’ve been intercepted. Maybe this is the test. If anyone is heading to Cronulla — if you’re real, if you’re not part of them — give me a lift. It’s scorching here and I can feel the sun trying to decode my thoughts. An old man is circling the public toilets, playing “Tie Me Kangaroo Down” on a washboard like some kind of signal. He ducks behind the stalls when I look at him. I see you. I see all of it. Five stars for the mystery. Zero for the lies.

Great open space, play equipment still good but faded, new equipment coming soon. One shelter, no toilets for public use (locked), bring your own seating to watch games.

Nice park. Can have broken glass and rubbish around as you can see by the photo of my girlfriends dog playing with an old discarded dummy. But besides that it's always friendly people and a great community.

Colonial Reserve in Bligh Park is a great local spot for families and the community. The park is always clean, well-maintained, and has plenty of open space to relax or enjoy outdoor activities. It’s a peaceful area with good walking tracks, nice seating spots, and a friendly neighbourhood vibe. A perfect place for a quiet walk, a picnic, or letting the kids burn some energy. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Great big cricket oval with path all the way around. The playground is showing its age but still functioning 3 slides 3 swings a flying fox monkey bars kids rock climbing walls. A toy shop and fish chip ship toy boat controls spiral climber platforms rope ladder pole and spider rope. Kids get dissy quick on the turntable. Fun and good selection if only wasn't vandalised in the past.
