Speargrass Community Park (incorporating a dog park)

Speargrass Community Park is approximately 50,000m² in size and is located adjacent to the low-level reservoir off Speargrass Road. Designed as a destination open space, the park caters to a wide range of users, including dog owners and recreational visitors.

Key features include:

  • Separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, each equipped with dog agility elements such as ramp bridges, hurdles, and interactive equipment to support dog enrichment while minimising potential conflict.
  • A centrally located BBQ area with seating that is accessible to all park users, positioned outside of the fenced dog zones.
  • Two toilet facilities, one near the car park and the other adjacent to the BBQ shelter, ensuring convenient access for all visitors.

The South Jerrabomberra Community Centre is located at the corner of Environa Drive and Carnation Drive, the Community Centre provides flexible spaces for meetings, functions, and community events.

Key features include:

  • Main Hall: Accommodates approximately 100 people, with seating and tables provided.
  • Kitchenette: Equipped with a fridge/freezer and microwave to support event catering.
  • Entrance Display: Features artwork and historical displays reflecting the history of the area.
  • Meeting Rooms: Three smaller rooms at the western end cater to corporate-style meetings that do not require the larger space.
