Officially the "Cambridge Street Reserve" according to Woollahra Council, this pocket playground is located between 55 (Langlo) and 59 (Frampton). The above photo was taken in the 1980s and is part of the Woollahra Local History centre collection.
Regular readers will recall that 57 Cambridge street was the location of Cambridge street's first resident. What happened to the house there and how the council came to turn it into a reserve is a bit of a mystery to me at present (and the local history centre didn't really know either). We'll have to come back to that topic.
Looking back at that old photo I reckon, as a regular user of the playground in its current configuration, that we could do with a decent amount of pruning.
