Birkenhead Naval reserve
In July 2022, we celebrated the official opening of the upgraded Birkenhead Naval Reserve on Heath St in Birkenhead. Hundreds of local people came along to this amazing new open space, to enjoy the green grass, new playground shelter and basketball hoop. Residents also got involved helping us plant 2,500 trees in the reserve to add canopy and shade in the future.
Following Community consultation undertaken in November 2020 the following themes were most evident for the design of the site:
- Importance of a large useable open space
- Native indigenous planting
- Recognition of Aboriginal heritage and Naval Heritage
- Biodiversity
- Water play/nature play/sand play
