Hall Om Wong, Kimberley
This open space on the edge of Kimberley derives its unusual
name from old English. It can be summarised as “Mr
Hall’s home piece of land”. References date back to the
1700’s. The site is approximately 3 hectares in size and is
designated as a Local Nature Reserve with a series of important
areas of woodland around its edges. It also has a wildflower meadow
and a small area of wetland.
In terms of leisure activity the extensive children’s play
area and small concrete skate park are extremely popular. There is
also a multi-use games area near the main entrance and a trim trail
that provides opportunities for outdoor exercise around the
perimeter of the site. There is no car parking on the site but
there are a series of pedestrian entrance points with the main
access form Eastwood Road. A main path runs through the centre of
the site up a steep bank which is popular in the winter for
sledging.
