SEWELL RESERVE

Public BBQ

Sewell Reserve in Glenroy presents itself as a neighbourhood park with a practical mix of facilities that caters to families and dog owners alike. The centerpiece barbecue area sits alongside picnic tables, offering a straightforward setup for weekend gatherings. Children gravitate toward the playground equipment while parents fire up the barbie, creating the familiar soundtrack of suburban weekends. The enclosed off-leash dog area draws four-legged visitors, though the dynamics can be unpredictable - some canine encounters prove less harmonious than others. The adjacent cricket oval adds breathing room to the space, perfect for a post-lunch kick or impromptu game. What the reserve lacks in polish, it makes up for in honest functionality. Visitors consistently note the absence of toilet facilities, a oversight that transforms longer visits into strategic planning exercises. Despite this shortcoming, Sewell Reserve delivers the essentials: space to barbecue, room to play, and a dog run that keeps the locals reasonably content.
