Yes, the Charnwood District Playing Fields are located within the suburb. They serve as the home ground for the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October‑March).
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses were meant to face common parkland and streets would service garages at the rear. In practice many residents fenced off the park side, resulting in narrow walkways with limited lighting and reduced neighbourhood surveillance.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, primarily Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge, and pockets of Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are found to the north‑east of the fault line.
Federally, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner. For ACT Legislative Assembly elections, it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
