Walkern Road Reserve Playground

It’s pretty basic — a couple of slides and swings that have seen better days — but honestly that’s kind of the appeal. The bush setting does a lot of the heavy lifting here, and the shaded seating and picnic tables make it easy to linger. Locals in New Lambton Heights know this one stays quiet even on weekends, which is rare. If your kids are happy with simple equipment and you want somewhere to sit without fighting for a table, it works well.
