Mackie Avenue Playground

Honestly, it’s a no-frills little spot, but for toddlers it ticks all the right boxes. You’ve got swings, a seesaw, and a small climbing structure — nothing fancy, but that’s kind of the point at this age. The woodchip surfacing keeps things soft underfoot, and the open grass field right there gives the kids somewhere to burn off steam when they inevitably get bored of the equipment. If you’ve got a toddler in New Lambton, this is the kind of low-key local park that actually gets used on a Tuesday morning.
