Arcade Way Reserve
A unique interior park in a Walter Burley Griffin designed suburban estate. Some native vegetation has survived disturbances such as exotic tree planting and playground and path construction. The reserve contains Critically Endangered Spiny Rice-flower and state-listed Vulnerable Pale Swamp Everlasting.
