A relaxed riverside reserve in Maylands that suits a slow picnic more than a playground blowout, with shady grass, BBQs, two play areas and good fishing and swimming spots.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
This is a relaxed riverside spot that suits a picnic or a slow afternoon more than a big playground blowout - there are two play areas, but the real draw is the shade, the grass and watching the birds (and maybe dolphins) go by. Great if you want somewhere quiet away from main roads, and handy if your kids like fishing or the occasional swim.

“Clarkson Reserve in Maylands is a wonderful spot in summer time or winter. Summer time you can sit on the grass and watch the world go by whilst admiring the stunning view over the river. You can also take a walk or ride a bike along the pathways next to Clarkson Reserve and follow it as far as you like. Along the way and at Clarkson Reserve you'll see an abundance of birds including Pelicans, and sometime in the river you might be lucky enough to spot one or two dolphins swimming.”

Overview
The kind of place you come for a slow afternoon rather than a big play session. There are two play areas, but the real draw is the shady grass, the three BBQs and gazebos, and the view over the river while the kids fish or take a swim. Easy parking, prams roll fine, and it sits well back from the main roads. Keep an eye out for dolphins going by, and there's even a little orchard tucked in.
