About the Reserve
Five well-maintained trails wind through Samuel Miller Reserve, looping through the park’s green space on smooth surfaces that are easy underfoot. The paths are suitable for all ages — flat enough for balance bikes and strollers — and popular with morning joggers and after-school walkers from nearby families.
The reserve also includes a playground with swings, slides, and a flying fox, along with toilets, BBQ facilities, and community fruit trees available for picking. It’s the kind of neighbourhood park that earns repeat visits — not dramatic, but genuinely well-kept and useful day to day.
