J.F. Laxton Reserve

Park

πŸ‘ A really lovely, quiet park with good measure of seating, shade and sun. It has a substantial, covered table area suitable for kids birthdays. I also like that it has a large grassed play area with shaded seats around the edge and a playground area. Landscaping borders the footpath to help keep kids...

    A really lovely, quiet park with good measure of seating, shade and sun. It has a substantial, covered table area suitable for kids birthdays. I also like that it has a large grassed play area with shaded seats around the edge and a playground area. Landscaping borders the footpath to help keep kids from venturing too close to the road. It’s walking distance to sideways cafe and light rail. Public toilets are a bit far across the field next door which is why I’ve given it 4*

    A gem of a medium sized suburban park. Up the top end there is a children's playground. There is also a public BBQ and shelter shed. Lower down there is a tree lined grassed area for ball informal games.

    Fantastic little park complete with BBQ (clean), play equipment for toddlers (and kids at heart), sheltered table and chairs, plenty of room to run around.... and all in a back street of Dulwich Hill. GO FIGURE? And who led us to it???? You guessed it.. Mrs Google Maps herself. She never ceases to amaze me. :)

    Nice beautiful park with plenty of space to relax and play. Really liked the trees on the sides and benches nearby. A great place to organise kids birthday party's and picnics

    Located in one of the leafiest parts of the neighbourhood, this little park and playground is a perfect place to play or picnic. Not as active as nearby Johnson Park, it's great for younger children.

    Great spot down on the harbour. Has multiple free public barbecues with tables to eat at. Needs more shading.

    This is a nice a small playground for the kids in the neighborhood it's a little bit of a hidden oasis. it has a nice grass area for your dogs, cats. very pleasant. And there's also a place to sit up for birthday parties or just any kind of celebration. Would be better if there's a shade over the kids area.

    Great little park. Less crowded than nearby Johnson Park and perfect to relax, when there are no screams coming the adjacent soccer field...
