Gladesville Reserve
Renovations at Gladesville Reserve are now complete! This project was delivered for Hunters Hill Council by our Solutions+ turfcare and landscape construction teams.
The project involved upgrading a natural turf playing surface, which included space for a soccer field, two training areas, a cricket practice net, and improved lighting.
The site also underwent a full renovation of the below-ground components, including a new irrigation system that required a quick in-house redesign to accommodate some unexpected site surprises, and a rebuilt drainage system to ensure a fast return to play after inclement weather.
We hope the All Saints Hunters Hill Football Club will be proud to call Gladesville Reserve their home turf!

Game-Day Ready
Competition day nerves are enough to manage, without the added worry of sports fields not ready for play. We work closely with the Deakin University team to ensure their sports fields are always game day ready.
Our game-day preparation routine includes:
- Cylinder and outfront mowing
- Line marking
- Garden bed maintenance and mulching
- Weed spraying
- Ongoing maintenance of the athletics track and baseball field
We also complete seasonal renovation and maintenance of the grounds, including aerating, scarifying, warm season to cool season conversions and oversowing.
The Pluses We Brought To This Project
Fun Facts
- Wadanggari Park is constructed directly above the North Shore railway line, a complex engineering feat that allowed for the creation of much-needed open space in a densely populated urban environment.
- The playground includes infant pods and mini slides for babies / toddlers, pod climbers for pre-schoolers, net towers for primary school visitors, steppers, bridges, climbing nets, viewing decks, play logs, and thrilling slides.
- The new space also includes a large lawn area suitable for picnics and relaxing, and community events, with passive nooks surrounded by raised planter beds.
Project Partners
- Council: Lane Cove Council
- Clients: Arenco & JQZ
- Landscape Architect: Arcadia Landscape Architecture
Community Engagement
This park has become a well-loved asset within the community, with it rare to visit and find the playground empty.
