Named after Lakewood’s sister city in Australia, Sutherland Shire Park welcomes energetic kids to its primary-colored playground with stone posts wrapped in Australian-themed mosaics. Visitors can enjoy sitting down for a cool lunch on a hot day at the park's covered picnic area or playing lively games of fetch with the family dog in the open fields.
