TE-ARAI RESERVE

Public BBQ

Te-Arai Reserve emerges as a delightful pocket sanctuary in St Kilda East, where towering old trees cast generous shade over a thoughtfully designed space perfectly scaled for families with toddlers and preschoolers. The compact playground sits safely tucked behind the neighbourhood house, well removed from traffic concerns, while shade sails provide additional protection from Melbourne's unpredictable weather. Picnic tables dot the reserve, creating natural gathering spots where parents can supervise play while enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. A community garden adds an educational element to visits, allowing children to observe seasonal growing cycles. The inclusion of a chess board caters to older visitors, though the occasional surprise addition of playground equipment keeps the space dynamic and engaging.
