About Hurlstone Memorial Reserve
Fenced Playground at Hurlstone Memorial Reserve

Hurlstone Memorial Reserve also has a separately listed playground, so the reserve offers two play facility tags in total. The reserve sits at 35-41 Crinan Street in Hurlstone Park, on the site that once held the Hurlstone Park Bowling Club.
