Nice little park with small playground. Tables and chairs here too. Not off leash for dogs.

Sometimes called the Pigeon Park, this is a nice small park a block or so off Illawarra Rd. There’s some playground equipment, a covered table and chairs and bench seating.

This Reserve is special. While a bit run-down and grotty, it has a unique layout and rich history. It is named after the mother of Henry Lawson, herself a poet and writer who put together Australias first magazine for women and children, The Dawn 1889-1903. There is a mosaic of this in the middle of the park as well as stones from her Renwick St home in the walls around it. The park is protected by a fence, gates and cedars on the street side, making it safer for young children.
