Lambeth Reserve
This reserve is a great little riverside park with ample parking, play equipment, a jetty, a small section of beach, sheltered picnic benches and plenty of open space. As well as the facilities, this reserve also links onto a wheelchair accessible track that follows the Georges river along boardwalks and footpaths, all the way to Picnic Point. Dogs are permitted at the park if on a leash. The reserve is signposted from Henry Lawson Drive.
