New playground at Polonia Reserve OPEN for FUN

  • Do
The Polonia Reserve has recently reopened after a partial closure due to the South Road upgrade, and it's now more exciting than ever!

This upgrade has it all – an awesome kick-about lawn, a cool play space, and even an interactive ticket booth with exterior illumination. But the real showstopper is the gigantic 7-meter-tall soccer ball playground sculpture! Imagine the thrill of sliding down its two slides or conquering its three levels; scale the tessellated climbings steps, soar down the fire poles, and feel like a champion from the lookout platform!

All this excitement isn’t just for fun; it’s also a tribute to the area’s history. The Polonia Reserve was once home to the Croydon Football Club since 1950 and before that, it proudly hosted the exciting games of the Polonia Soccer Club.
