We\u2019ve always believed that a park is one of the most important spaces a community can share, and Central Park has become a cherished part of daily life here at Brunslea Park.<\/span><\/h3>

Having an open space where you and your family can enjoy physical activity is an obvious benefit, but there are so many more ways this beautiful green space enriches the lives of our residents.<\/span><\/p>

CHILDREN’S WELLBEING<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

Maintaining contact with the natural world remains a critical factor in the health and development of children and young adults.<\/span><\/p>

Getting fresh air, being physically active and exercising curiosity in nature are only the beginning of the benefits your child experiences from living near a park.<\/span><\/p>

Time spent in green spaces has been linked to significant improvements in impulsive behaviour and attention problems, a decrease in signs of depression and anxiety, a reduced risk of lifestyle diseases, and more opportunities for face-to-face social interaction.<\/span><\/p>

And these benefits ring true not only for your children, but for the whole family \u2013 including you.<\/span><\/p>

MENTAL HEALTH<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

Studies have shown that living near and frequently visiting parks and gardens can have a dramatic, long-term impact on mental health.<\/span><\/p>

Researchers found that the positive effects of green areas on mental wellbeing are not fleeting \u2013 they are sustainable over a long period \u2013 and they describe parks as a vital resource for improving quality of life.<\/span><\/p>

RETURN ON INVESTMENT<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

When the time comes for you to move on from your family home in Brunslea Park, you\u2019ll see a pleasing return on your investment in our community.<\/span><\/p>

Central Park has made our tight-knit neighbourhood even more appealing to growing families, and it continues to enhance the value of homes in our suburb significantly.<\/span><\/p>

A PLACE FOR FAMILIES TO GO AND DO THINGS<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

As a parent, you know that iPads and tablets can make it harder to get children engaged in other activities when they\u2019re bored.<\/span><\/p>

Having a beautiful park just a short stroll away \u2013 a few blocks or even a few houses \u2013 means there\u2019s always somewhere for your kids to enjoy their afternoons and weekends. They can kick a football, run around, play on the equipment, or simply sit and read in the sun \u2013 boredom free!<\/span><\/p>

GROWING THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

On top of all the benefits above, Central Park helps Brunslea Park achieve what it has always set out to do: create a truly authentic community.<\/span><\/p>

The park is a hub for social activity, a meeting place for friends and neighbours, and a welcoming site for celebrations and events.<\/span><\/p>
