A broad cross-section of the community expressed how they saw the future of Templeton Reserve. The feedback was to create a safe connected multi-use park that connects the playground, club facilities and sports fields and is easy to access and walk through.

With this in mind a Draft Masterplan has been prepared that includes the following facilities and experiences.
