Reserve History
Following its partial closure for the South Road upgrade, Polonia Reserve has re-opened a portion of the land that was redeveloped into open space for community use. The upgrade included an open kick about lawn, playspace with a climbing soccerball paying homage to the sites history. This reserve was also constructed to double up as a stormwater detention basin, designed to flood and hold on to water to increase the capacity of the stormwater system during heavy rain.
