A hidden gem at Lansvale

Mayor Frank Carbone with young cyclists (from front) Mikaela, Lachlan, Hannah and Jasmine try out the new road safety circuit at Lansvale Reserve.

Lansvale Reserve has been described as one of Fairfield City's hidden gems and, after a $250,000 Council makeover, it's time to share the appeal of this charming spot.

Just off Knight Street, Lansvale, and sitting on the banks of Prospect Creek, the reserve offers shady trees and grassed areas, picnic tables and shelter, and a brand new road safety circuit.

Young bicycle riders from Fairfield City and elsewhere will now be able to learn about road safety or just enjoy the new facility while picnicking with mum and dad.

The track is the first of its kind for the area and provides a safe location for children aged three to 12 years to ride bikes and scooters. The safety circuit provides a range of experiences for
riders of differing levels of ability and age.

Other work in the upgrade includes new play equipment, linking and upgrading existing facilities with new development, and linking an existing cycle route to the site.

The upgrade fits Council's theme of Enhancing Community Wellbeing through Goal 2 (Being Healthy and Active) and Goal 3 (Enjoying a Good Standard of Living and Enhanced Quality of Life).

The reserve connects with the Chipping Norton Lakes Recreational Park and is a large site with significant frontage to Prospect creek. The redevelopment places greater emphasis on it being used as a recreational picnic area.

It expected the site will provide facilities not only for the residents of Lansvale, but also visitors who travel from other parts of Fairfield City and potentially the Bankstown local government area.
