    The geese are very friendly here, my 4yr old hand feeds them and they are gentle with her. When you tell them it's all gone they actually know and will waddle off. It's pretty impressive for geese. The ducks will eat duck pellets don't feed them bread. The water quality at the moment, Dec 2021 isn't too great. It would be great for the council to skim the lake and do a clean up to avoid the algae issue occurring. It's a very popular family spot, always a family picnic and kids running around so it would be great if the council made it a priority to upkeep the lake so the fishing can be better quality.

    One of the best parks for kids and adults alike. Variety of equipments, slides, swings, ziplines, play area for the disabled, and nice nature strips for walks. bbq area can get busy on weekends and public holidays. There's an ice cream van usually near the car park for quick snacks.

    It's a lovely park however there are rats/mice in the playground. Please be very cautious with your children! Council needs to address this health hazard asap!

    Nice park with water features. Plenty of seagulls. BBQ facility available. Short walking trail. The noise of vehicles passing on the freeway is a bit of disturbance to the calm atmosphere. Play area for kids available.

    Wonderful place to frow down a blanket for a picnic or kids party. Plenty of room to run around even for them most active kids. Rolling hills with lush green grass. Beautiful massive lake. Feed the ducks and swans. There are BBQ areas, large childrens play area. Quiet places if you just want to chill in a more intermediate setting. Car parking. Seating. Shade trees. Loads of flora and fauna. Bush tracks for walking and loads more. Cannot believe this is so central. A great place to get away for a few hours. Highly recommend. #LetsGuide

    Its a hidden gem. Nice and well managed playground next to a beautiful lake. Corporation is doing a great job maintaining it. However locals need to play their part as well. I have seen many groups of boys and girls and families gathering or partying nearby and making a huge mess. Beer cans, bottles, wrappers and garbage is lying around in bushes and trees. Council can only do so much and locals need to own and maintain this b place.

    Nicely hidden park with a big lake and plenty of great picnic spots. There's an outdoor gym, a few bbq places, some wildlife, a big playground and during peak times, there's an ice-cream truck. There's also a big carpark on one side of the reserve.

    I have been going to this park since I was a kid. It has improved a lot. They have installed a new playground and toilets. great place for a bbq or to walk the dog, or bike ride along the trails. Few problems I see are the water is polluted. It is storm water drain off so thatโ€™s understandable I guess? It doesnโ€™t always feel safe around the tunnel/back area of the park going towards Glenroy. Too many people off-leashing their dogs there. Itโ€™s right next to a kids playground, a lake with many distracting birds, & there are other dog walkers. Thereโ€™s also a disability centre nearby and they bring people to the park. Donโ€™t.unleash.your.dog. Thereโ€™s actually park directly across the street for off leash walking. Go there instead. Many people litter and leave discarded food everywhere. Especially bread for the birds. Donโ€™t do it. Put your leftovers in a container and take them home. Take your bones, seed husks stale bread etc and put them in one of the bins. Keep the place clean and safe for the next person who comes by.

    Great playground with a lot of shade and play equipments. It's next to a reserve with a large open space and a lot of people doing bbq and catch-up

  • 3/5 Mohammad Ali H. 6 months ago on Google โ€ข 55 reviews
    Local reserve with ample of space for picnic, bbq or relaxation. There is something for everyone to enjoy, big playground for the kids and spacious green areas for adults. The lake with its ducks is a coolness for an eyesight. One growing aspect is that toilets need to be cleaned frequently.

  • 5/5 Azlam S. 5 years ago on Google โ€ข 32 reviews
    Great place to have BBQ. Kids will enjoy the playground which has lot of options. Can become crowded in the afternoon, and desks can be hard to find..so bring your own mats or chairs.

  • 4/5 Omair A. 5 years ago on Google โ€ข 26 reviews
    Excellent place for the kids to relax and have a good time. The added attraction is the BBQ facility. The lake is closed due to contamination but once it opens up, the fishing and boating will be huge attractions.

  • 4/5 Leo V. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park, plenty for the kids, lots of BBQ places and small walking trail. Does get very busy during peak hour. Watch out for the pack of angry geese.

  • 5/5 Bec L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great playground! Our two year old loved everything about it, and there are plenty of walking tracks around the lake if you feel like going for a walk.

  • 4/5 Vilz21 S. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice playground for the kids

  • 1/5 Marica G. 3 years ago on Google
    Crowded, the kids didn't enjoy the playground, there wasn't any swings. Very boring & dirty users. I cannot understand why people have to leave their rubbish on the grass instead of putting it in bins right next to them. We made sure we took our rubbish home.

  • 4/5 Heidi L. 3 years ago on Google
    Good amount of shade, few seats, few BBQs. Nice place to spend a few hours.

  • 3/5 Hira Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice park for family gatherings but the main problem is there were some families who left their kids unsupervised and those kids attack other kids that is very disturbing for us as a parent. May those people get some sense to act well in public areas.

  • 5/5 Adv Zahid Ali Mughal A. 7 months ago on Google
    It's nice place to come and enjoy with family and friends. Everything like electric stoves, bathroom, sitting arrangements, and entertainment for kids as well as big park area, visit and enjoy. It is in the north of Melbourne

  • 5/5 Mohammad R. 1 year ago on Google
    We hired these guys to help us clean out an old storage space, and they did a great job. They were fast, efficient and friendly. They even offered to help load the items into our cars and helped us carry heavy items! Thanks!

  • 3/5 Aked K. 2 years ago on Google
    I give it 3 stars because the people who live in the area don't care about environment at all, rubbish everywhere in the lake i seen floating baby prams motorcycle and rubbish bags full of rubbish in the lake, i even seen a sheep head near the bridge, it shows you how bad and selfish people are that live near that area. I used to go there when I was young, in 1997 99 and it was clean water plenty of fish, now the water is covered with some green slimey weed, no fish at all is disgusting to even be there. Now the kids playground is good plenty of slides swings and other activities. Is people like this will make the vic governmen impose fees for entry in the future, and the people who dump rubbish in the lake are the ones who will complain.

  • 5/5 Rita H. 2 years ago on Google
    A friendly get away to nature place for the whole family. Unparallel natural beauty and quiet noiseless place with ample free parking. Park got BBQ facilities, toiles and children park. Ideal for adults to chill while children play around.

  • 5/5 Jay P. 8 months ago on Google
    Big playground and beautiful lake next to it. Enough space to organise events with your family and friends.

  • 5/5 Jed K. 1 year ago on Google
    A well planed play ground. BBQ's, toilets, zip line, plenty of castles and slides, climbing stuff, swings, large area, will keep the kids busy and happy. Can get a bit busy on nice days, but plenty of room.

    Excellent park great views, seating and good size playground. Perfect for the family day out

  • 4/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    There are facilities here, but it just feels... A bit unkept. There is still water quality warning signs up - so no fishing, swimming, dog swimming. Personally, I'd say edwardes park is much better.

  • 5/5 Fame F. 1 year ago on Google
    There's BBQ spots, but very limited. Park itself is very good, green and enjoyable, the lake is beautiful. Access to the park is easy but is only single lane going in and single lane going out. Parking is ample for an evening, never seen it full. The walk trail is pretty specially in autumn.

  • 5/5 Sarfraz ul H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Ace L. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice park with bbq stations and the creek and scenery too. Good for a walk/stroll . Only downside is that some family hog the tables for the whole entire day literally.

  • 3/5 Greg B. 3 years ago on Google
    Needs some love and attention. It would be good if the council built a walking path that went around the lake, that would be a great addition to a park with some lovely potential.

  • 5/5 Sam N. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Abdulhameed A. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place for family, plenty space for BBQs, family and friends gathering and children play ground. Captivating sight between nature and the lake.

  • 5/5 Baby K. 3 years ago on Google
    This playground is pretty awesome for toddlers who need to move and use up some energy! Adults can follow quietly behind if at all worried. There are heaps of tables for bbqs, and toilets on site. Great for a birthday party. The lake nearby has ducks and swans. Nice place for a walk. Will definitely be returning back. Heaps of parking too. Nice little gem.

  • 3/5 Zehra Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Its a good place to visit with your kids but sometimes it is dirty as the people in the vicinity are habitual of leaving their garbage in public places.

  • 4/5 Amal M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Netty G. 3 years ago on Google
    Easy parking, Lovely place to walk your dog, large areas to explore, wild life is amazing, bins (seemingly not enough) water & toilets available, many bbq areas, cool playground for children. Visited on a monday, & quiet disappointing to see the disgrace left from the weekend. I witnessed 3 huge garbage trucks arrive to clean up what people left behind.
