6 • THE CAMBERWELL CITIZEN • ISSUE #9
A WA L K I N T H E PA R K Whether it’s active fun for the kids, a place to sip a coffee under a grand old oak, or simply somewhere to walk and tune in to nature, Camberwell’s local parks provide it all.
LOWER RESERVE
CAMBERWELL LIBRARY PARK
Lower Reserve (260 Camberwell Rd) offers a little tree oasis just opposite the Country Road store. Take a breather from shopping and enjoy a takeaway coffee in the sunshine, or in the shade of a magnificent green canopy on a park bench. The tranquil pocket park, planted in 1873, is one of the natural jewels dotted throughout Camberwell.
Another patch of greenery breaking up its urban surroundings is the park that wraps around the Camberwell Library (340 Camberwell Rd). Pack a lunch and sit at one of the tables in the grassy park adjacent to the library building. Otherwise, head to the gardens at the front of the library which boasts mature trees and a peaceful spot to catch up on some reading.
