I suspect these logs might be seating. In the distance, someone's woodpile.

Wattlebird Bushland Reserve, Caringbah NSW

Image
Comparison between the above from a relatively new UBD street directory and the current Google Map shows some disparity in the shape of this reserve and the reality. It is closer to three spaces linked by small paths than one space; and the spaces each have distinct characters. The first is the bushland reserve:
Image

Image
 A private tennis court has been erected as an extension to a house in Rawson Pde. This cuts the 'bushland' section of the reserve almost (but not) entirely off from the rest of the space.
Image
 The remaining space allowing access to the bushland space.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
 Many of the surrounding houses have visual and gateway access to the space.
Image

Image

Image
The second space adjoins a relatively new complex of two-storey adjoined housing, and is a lightly treed, maintained open area with little evidence of use, perhaps enjoyed largely by surrounding residents only visually. 
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
The third space has less direct and apparent purpose. Here, a house has one side of its 'garden' open to the wider space. Another unit development leads directly into the space.

Unnamed reserve in block within Wyralla, Sylvania and Raglan Roads, Miranda, Sydney

Image
A fairly nondescript space perhaps envisaged from the outset as linked to the small bank of shops at its northeast corner.
Image
 One homeowner (a the south east corner) has opened up yardspace to embrace the reserve.
Image

Image

Image
 Walkway through to Wyralla.

Reserve bounded by Cedar St/Laver Grove, Mayfield, Tasmania

I have not been able to find out anything at all about the estate surrounding this IR but I am going to suggest it is a subdivision of land ...
