Sanders Reserve

Sanders Reserve is a local outdoor park that offers generally good accessibility for people with mobility impairments, though some natural features may present minor challenges. The main entrances to the reserve are step-free, with flat pathways from surrounding streets, making it accessible for wheelchair users, walkers, and prams.

Inside the reserve, there are paved and compacted pathways that allow relatively easy movement throughout most of the park. However, some areas include grass surfaces or slight slopes, which may be uneven and can make wheelchair navigation more difficult, especially after rain. Open grassy areas provide space for recreation but are less mobility-friendly compared to the paved paths.

There are benches and seating areas available throughout the park at standard height, offering places to rest. These are generally accessible, though not all seating spaces have dedicated wheelchair positioning next to them.

There is no payment counter, as this is a public outdoor space. Facilities are limited—there are no permanent accessible toilets within the reserve itself. Visitors may need to use nearby public or commercial facilities in the Burwood area.

Parking is available on surrounding streets, and some areas nearby may include accessible parking spaces, though they are not always directly adjacent to park entrances. The reserve is located within a residential area and is accessible via local bus routes, with Burwood town centre and train station a short distance away.
