Recreation Reserve & Swimming Pool
The best place to rest in Violet Town after you have picked up a coffee or some lunch.
With shady trees and lots of facilities for visitors, the Recreation Reserve is open 24 hours a day with free parking. Enter through the iron Lest We Forget gates which date from 1884 and on the left you’ll find:
- Undercover barbeque with tables and chairs
- Children’s playground
- Water refill station
- Public toilets – open 8.00 am – 4.00 pm
- Swimming pool – open December-March in the afternoons/evenings
- Wood fired community pizza oven
Grab a seat next to the football oval or under a tree for your picnic, or take a stroll along our Honeysuckle Creek walk and use one of the available tables there.
The water refill station provides facilities for filling bottles, watering the dog or having a slurp.
Our playground features a wonderful nest swing which several children can ride at one time. With soft fall underneath, there are swings, slides and climbing equipment suitable for a variety of ages.
On Market days, the community wood-fired pizza oven cooks up a storm. Run by Community House volunteers and fuelled by wood from the Community Forest, a variety of home-made pizzas are churned out to feed hungry patrons.
