The Humpty Doo Village Green is situated on 20 acres of land donated to the Lions Club of Litchfield during the 1970's. Lions Club members, together with many members of the community, worked tirelessly landscaping the area, installing a bore, reticulation system, playground equipment and BBQ's.
Today the Humpty Doo Village Green is frequented by many community groups and local families who enjoy the well maintained picnic and playground area. The Hall is available for hire by community groups during the day and evenings. Litchfield Council took over the funding of the Reserve when it was established in 1985.
