Stancich Reserve is a park at 35 Ocean View Rd, Hillcrest, North Shore City, rated 4.5 by visitors.
A reserve on sloped ground offers a different kind of play than a flat park, with kids often using a grassy slope for rolling or running down rather than relying only on formal equipment, so it is worth checking the gradient before assuming it suits very young children unsupervised. Regulars know a sloped reserve can drain better than a flat one after rain, since water runs off rather than pooling, which can mean a more usable park sooner after wet weather. Uneven or sloped ground is also worth factoring in for anyone bringing a wheelchair or a pram, since accessibility varies a lot depending on the site. A hillside reserve often rewards a look back toward the view on the way up as much as the play space itself.
