A $4 million transformation at Jack Wakins Reserve has delivered a vibrant and inclusive space for all ages to play, connect, and stay active. Plus, to stay with the history of the local area, it's also train themed!

  • Bike pump track – the first of its kind in PAE!
  • Basketball court

This upgrade was made possible thanks to a $1.45 million grant from the Minister for Planning in 2023, which allowed the City of PAE to purchase four house blocks along Carroll Avenue, which allowed us to open up the reserve.
