Marsh Street Reserve

If you’ve got a toddler in tow, this little Arncliffe spot is worth knowing about. The ground is soft and spongy, which makes a real difference when you’ve got a wobbly walker who’s still figuring out the whole gravity situation. A good spread of shade trees keeps things cool, so you’re not baking on a bench while the kids do their thing. It’s low-key and leafy — nothing flashy, but honestly that’s kind of the point for this age group.
