What's here
Bromley Old School Reserve is a small neighbourhood park in the eastern suburb of Bromley, with a junior multi-play structure and slide, an infant swing, and a compact BMX track looping around the edge of the play area, giving older kids on bikes and scooters something the standard swings-and-slide reserve doesn't.
