Although later modifications introduced fenced front yards, the suburb still retains a network of pathways that allow pedestrians to move across the area without crossing busy roads.
Yes, the Charnwood District Playing Fields are nearby and serve as the home base for the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club during the track season (October – March).
Charnwood sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite. The Deakin Fault runs along the north‑east edge of these rocks, with Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite found on the opposite side.
