Chirnside Park is now home to one of the most unique parks in the southern hemisphere, with the newest urban playground and reserve officially open.
The development of Belsay Reserve on Kimberley Drive has transformed the once bare space into a flight-themed playspace, with a wetland, walking paths and barbecue facilities.
Perhaps the most exciting feature is the hot air balloon play equipment, the first of its kind in Australia and south of the equator.
Other features of the reserve include a flying fox, sensory play, trampolines and educational placards about various flight animals.
