The middle of the year can see motivation wear thin and energy levels waver. But who says fresh starts are only for the New Year? Now’s the perfect time to take advantage of the cooler weather and lower humidity. Here's a collection of our favourite ways to boost your well-being, stay active, and embrace the vibrant community at The Reserve.
Make the most of the great outdoors
Residents at The Reserve know the winter months are the best time to get out in nature and soak up some glorious sunshine.
Wrangle some of your neighbours and spend the day at Tropics Golf Club. The 18-hole course will keep you active and entertained all day, with a driving range also available for those looking to perfect their swing.
If water activities are more your speed, the Riverway Lagoons are calling your name! Swim some laps in the pool or let the kids burn off energy at the playground. For the runners and walkers, the Riverway Parkrun community is a fantastic way to get moving and meet locals. Join the fun every Saturday at 7 am, followed by a well-deserved coffee at FatDogz Café.
