Robertson Street Reserve

If you’re jumping off the train at Kogarah and need somewhere to let the kids burn off some energy, this little reserve is genuinely handy. The shade trees do proper work here — it’s not one of those spots where you’re squinting and sweating through the whole visit. Slides and swings cover the basics, and the equipment is well looked after, which honestly isn’t a given in a lot of suburban parks. Good seating nearby too, so you’re not hovering awkwardly while the kids do their thing.
