I have been at Victoria Park during school hours and the playgrounds have often been very actively used spaces. Schools also don't seem to have swings anymore. From what I can tell from the Google Maps aerial view of Cherry Park, while there are two ball diamonds, there does not appear to be a play structure there.
Lakeside Park appears to have some play structures near the Gatewood Road entrance but it is obscured by shade in the aerial shots.
There does appear to be something in Lakeside Park, I've ridden past that section but never stopped.
But I can assure you that Cherry Park has an extensive play area at the south end near the Strange St entrance. My daughter plays there regularly.
There is a small playground there in Lakeside Park. If you are taking the trail through the park, it's up at the top of the hill so you might not see it. If you look on street view from Lakeside Drive you will see it.
