The Colonial Reserve is at the heart of Bligh Park, offering the largest field within the immediate community.
The reserve features a children’s playground with a Kanope Diamond Net Senior Play with inclined nets, a platform, a slide, a climbing wall, and a Diabolo Baby Junior play unit with sensory and tactile panels. In addition, the playground has a hammock swing, an accessible carousel, and a springer, among other things.
In mid-2021, the Hawkesbury City Council started a survey for the community to choose from 3 possible options for the playground’s design. The community chose the first option. The playground was opened to the Bligh Park residents on 11 July 2022, valued at $200,000.
Colonial Reserve is accessible via Colonial Drive at Bligh Park, Neptune Crescent and Guardian Crescent. It is near various sports areas and fields in the area.
