3* Lakemba Reserve Playground in May 2025. Nice little park and playground on Royal Oak Drive, a quiet cul-de-sac. The playground is minimally equipped, but it also has enough ground around for running havoc, picnic table, rubbish bins, a couple of trees providing shade, and access to a tennis court. Some on street parking, which seems okay given the size of the playground.
