Temporary playground closure

The Markham Reserve playground will be closed from Monday 5 October 2026 for maintenance works.

We plan to reopen the playground during the week of 12 October (weather permitting).

During the works, you can visit nearby playgrounds at Watson Park, Ashburton Park and Warner Reserve.

Suitable for children's play, sports, outdoor fitness training and social gatherings like picnics.

Markham Reserve is a fantastic, large open space. Covering 113,014 square metres, the park is a beautiful spot for spending time outdoors.
