A great way to spend a summers day with friends. Jells park has one of the most beautiful landscapes surrounded by trees. The park also has a lake, great for relaxing and watching the birds play. The park has a number of barbecues and toilets spread around the area. The trails that lead through Jells park have some of the best scenery of any park! Highly recommend spending a day at Jells!

It's a good place to picnic. There are some picnic area and BBQ. You also can just have a seat on the grass. Everyone here really enjoys and spends their time with family and friends. It's so good especially with amazing weather. Btw, you can have a walk or ride the bike around the lake!

Beautiful park, nice view, picnic tables and benches. Forget about the Café and bring your own stuff. They lock shop at 3 while several customers are asking for coffee.

Great park with excellent playground facilities for the kids. Lots of excellent walking trails. Can easily spend half a day here, perfect place for a picnic. I think there is one cafe on offer but in my opinion better to bring your own food.

The park is very big and never get too crowded. Lots of birds to see. Good for family to bring kids or dogs. Always have people walking here and there so it’s kinda safe to come alone. Also the walk is not too short and not too long 👌

I love coming to jells park with my family on weekends. There are quite a few trails and one of them is around a lake that is home to some ducks. Jells park is the perfect place for a picnic or get together and has some outdoor tables. They also have toilets and lots of parking. The only downside is that the directory is sometimes hard to follow but aside from that is is a great place to go!!

One of my favourite places to take the kids for a bike ride, play on the vast playgrounds or visit the ducks. There is a cafe for dine in or takeaway food and coffee. It's also a great place to go for a run. If you want beautiful views while getting some exercise, this is the place to visit.

Beautiful Park. Great BBQing facilities Shame that water was out of bounds due to Blue Algae as we had planned to do some fishing!

Nice large park with lots to do for both adults and kids. Very popular for picnics, cycling, jogging and events. Only downside is the single, over rated and overpriced cafe.

Beautiful views and walking trails, lawns and garden are well maintained. The new natural inspired kids park is fantastic for little ones of all ages and adults! Dog friendly and the cafe gives out treats. Definetly worth a visit

Long walking trails , couple of playgrounds including new amazing play area, great surroundings with the lake and birds area. Great for a picnic as well.

Lovely park lots of open space. Plenty of different trails that all interconnect so you can just freely wonder and have a different experience each time you visit. If you have kids the playground is exceptional in size and a variety of equipment. Lots of cyclists, and wildlife.

It's a beautiful wide-open park in the heart of Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It's an ideal park to go for a picnic or a long walk with family and friends. There are several barbecue facilities and playgrounds for the kids. There is a large lake in the middle of the park which is a good spot to take photos. The park also provides habitat to an abundance of rare bird species. Moreover, there's a restaurant in the park which is a great place for a coffee and a quick bite. There are also public toilets and plenty of free parking lots.

It is one of the best playgrounds in the area. When you are in, you won't feel like you are in the suburbs. It's big and beautiful. Lots of trees with a view of Dandenong ranges. It has everything...playscapes, bike tracks, a nice little lake, and long walking trails amongst the wilderness full of birds and other wildlife. It has quite a few BBQ with sheds, enough parking spaces, toilets 🚻 and a nice cafe. I go there when I have nothing to do and when I have a lot to do. Go there alone, with a friend or family, and enjoy nature.

Wonderful open space with a beautiful lake that has great bird life.

Fantastic park that melds into a few trails. An early morning park around the lake is refreshing. Discover the birds, ducks and if you choose, take the trails as far as you'd like. Once done, visit Madeline's cafe for a bite or just a drink. It is vast, well maintained and beautiful.

Had amazing time at this park. Walked around lake. Bird sighting. Accessible public toilets. Cafe near car park to grab coffee. Safe playground for kids. Convenient car parking. Will be back soon.

Lovely park for walking, relaxing, biking, eating and gathering with family and friends. It is obviously a great place for children as it has several playing areas. It has many seats and tables .. some are old and the others are renovated. These tables are distributed between the trees . SO, you wouldn't feel very hot during sunny days. There is a coffee directly beside the visitor centre. Photos of its opening hours and menu are available. Car parks are available a long the enteries. However, toilets in this park are dirty and with bad smell. Two toilets I have checked , and both did not encourage me to use them, looking infectious. Additionally, although the park has several BBQ areas but they are dirty and unclean.

Great park to either meamble, stride, walk or bike, something for all ages, lovely lake and then finish off a coffee at the Cafe.......beautiful!!!

Beautiful huge park with so much space for all sorts of recreation; birdwatching, walking, cycling etc. Lots of lovely picnic spots too. Great in any season.

Great place for a family trip. You can enjoy every moment here. The view is just awesome. Highly recommended!

I have been so thankful for this park during our second lockdown in Melbourne. Lots of walking tracks. Beautiful lake with walking track around it and some benches. Lots of space to be able to find a spot for your group to picnic. Cafe does takeaway only until January 2021. New playground being built to complement other playgrounds. Well worth a visit with family or friends.

An awesome place for day-out. Huge area. Free parking. Nice view for photography. There are two play aes for kids. Number of seating, BBQ areas. It's little bit busy park. Nice lake. lots of bike tracks also available. There's a cafe also which is little bit busy in most of times.

Great nature based play space spread across a large area. Sand pit with water tables. A awesome ropes course. Slides and swings. There are lots of tracks to choose from, around the pretty lake and lots of friendly ducks. Madeline's in next door for takeway coffees and treats. Sit down cafe option was not open when we went at 10am. Toilets and parking onsite.

Beautiful park. Best playground l have been too. Lovely indoor outdoor cafe Madeleines at Jells . Open 7 days a week. Breafast and lunch Wednesday to Sunday. Beautiful walks and lake

Beautiful park, plenty of space, cafe/restaurant inside, available toilets, variety of playground equipments.

The walking track is flat. Nice for an easy walk. One loop is only 3km-ish. There is a beautiful lake in the centre, inhabited by all sorts of birds species. There is a big cafe for coffee and simple lunch or morning tea. Toilets are clean. Plenty of carpark spaces.

Green,open space with big playground for different age children to have plenty of fun. Our boys could spend hours at Jells Park. A place to spend a day with family.

Lovely park and lake. Lots of place to both chill and play. There are birds all around. The cafe in the middle is perfectly located.

A group of us meet up once a week to do meditation. Grass should be cut more often. There are no bins, so you must take your rubbish with you. Last visit some pigs had eaten there and left mess behind. We told one of the Parks workers and she cleaned up straight away. Great feel, beautiful scenery of lake and trees. Wonderful energy. Love it

Great place for long walks or just chilling out with a picnic. There's heaps of space everywhere, so you're not bumping elbows with everyone. The BBQ areas are spread out nicely, so you get your own little spot without feeling crowded. It's the perfect spot for a lazy Sunday or to get some fresh air and stretch your legs. Great for a day out with friends or family, especially if you're looking to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Niicee Park,good for a jog,ride the bike with the kids.Cafe & kid play ground,although it could be better,needs renovate. Big empty field.

Great park to walk ride picnic relax. Lake also Lots of tracks can get very busy. Lots of parking spots. cafe there also but haven't tried it.

Good place for picnic, many bbq spots too and big space. My cat loves it. Look at the pictures!!

Love this park. Very peaceful. Nice to explore or just sit on a park bench and people watch

Amazing park, wide open space for picnics, active and passive recreation. ?Cafe on site for breakfast & lunch. Nice food with good views of the park. ??‍♂️ ??‍♂️Circular shares footpath for bike riding and walking. ? Natural shaded spots for picnics. Large open space for activities and lake. ? Loads of on-site parking.

It a very large park suitable for all kind of people, be it a family gathering, cycling, running or have a short picnic. The place is very children friendly. Lots of Barbecue station and a lovely cafe. Right place for both active people and for ones who love to laze around.

Plenty of open space, lots of tables for a sit down and lots of signage so you don’t get lost.

Plenty of parking and lovely sights. Can take families out for a picnic or a walk. Conservation area is very nice to explore too.

Great place to walk with kids, lot's of parking. Also near the entry a good Cafe area to have a coffe or snack.

It is a busy place, but itt big and has everything including a few restaurants for you to get some food or seat down to enjoy a cuppa. Love the lake it has, and still not able to walk around it (ie. Lack of time). Will try to do this next time when I have 1.5hrs to kill....

This is a lovely park to ride through from parts north on the way to Dandenong. Watch your navigation though, or you'll end up going around and around. Well worth an exploration if you have the time.

A beautiful walk and covers various areas.

Awesome park . Great cafe too. Fantastic place to go during our covid 19 lockdowns Thank goodness we can still go there while every thing else is shut.

Good nature park with good walking tracks. Was a great place for picnics but Covid has put paid to that. And it is picturesque.

Ordinary and run down.

Beautiful

Nice beautiful place, huge.

Chill place

One of the largest parks in the vicinity, Jells Park has a bit of something for everyone: nice walking tracks, cycling tracks, playgrounds and BBQs (for once the lockdown restrictions are lifted), lots of grassy space, and even a cafe, birdwatching and even fishing. My personal favourite is the lake, which looks nice at sunset on a clear day, and the conservation area where you can see the bird colonies. There's always car parking. Do note that the gates are locked at night, though there is 24 hour exit.

Awsome day great coffee what a beutiful place loved it.

Bad vibes bro :(

Lovely park to give the dog a good run around! Gets quite busy in the summer, but great for an after-work stroll. Our dog enjoyed the long grass too (she didn’t have a choice ☺️)

(Translated by Google) Hiking enthusiasts, many people, there is a coffee shop (Original) 徒步爱好者，人多，有咖啡店

Great place to be , plenty room to move around within the social distance!!

Love the wide open spaces, lots of wild life.

Lots of space with nice bush land around the lake. Cafe on site and big playground for kids.

Good park

Nice park, plenty of places to sit, ride, ans have fun!

Have been coming here since I was a kid. Especially good on a sunny day.

A beautiful park for walking, running and cycling. Once COVID19 is over, it is also great for having BBQ's and picnics. This morning was so beautiful with the fog and sunrise. There were plenty of people doing their morning exercise. We use this place as a starting point for our round trip cycle to Ferntree Gully Quarry (another lovely place) and back. A total of 37 Kms. I would recommend this place for all manners of activities for individuals, groups and families. Enjoy.

Relaxing

I feel a little late in exploring such an amazing park very close by...

HEALTHY park HEALTHY people Great place for bbq, walk, run, bike ride

Great place to bring the kids to ride a bike or simply have a walk.

Beautiful scenery, nice friendly people, even a restaurant and all.

Looking a little tired

Great park for everyone to spend the whole day - no matter for family and friends gathering or workouts or even for kids to play around in the decent playgrounds.

Nice walk, run or bike ride. Getting a little too busy though.

Nice park.

Awesome trails

What a lovely experience! Clean, fresh well managed. Surely going again!

Great place to relax. The park features a Big lake, wild animals and beautiful view.

Lovely peaceful walking path, pontoon, playground, and open park area

well pretty good place .

Amazing transformation from a dairy farm to a beautiful park in a decade.

Park with many wildlife mostly birds, great place to walk and see animals at the lake.

Great place to walk / run around to get some exercise. Solid and wide stone / dirt pathways with seating along the way. Playground, picnic area and scenic water views. Mature trees and some open green areas as well.

A lovely walk around the lake in a bushland setting.

Good spot for a walk around. Has a small playground, some open field space and a lake with waterfowl. Plenty of walking/jogging tracks too. Take some aeroguard!

Nice peaceful place to visit and relax

Great location !

Nice place to chill out

A nice park to walk around, with lots of bird life. There are a number of trails around the area which are suitable for Cyclists and Walkers, which also make it Wheelchair friendly as well. This location would have received 5 stars if there was a few more accessible places to view the lake from, and a walking trail right around the lake, otherwise it’s a nice place for a walk.

best natural woodlands with lakes, terrific walk

Great place to get some exercise and take the kids for a walk during stage 4 lockdown.

Playground seemed good although stage 4 restrictions atm we couldn't actually use it! The paths are not easy to use when it's been wet- we had a pram and kiddy scooter and there were giant puddles everywhere. Best to go in fine weather.

Nice, quiet and local

Small park/wetland, but reasonably nice and well connected to nearby bike tracks

A scenic pathway amongst the flora and fauna.

(Translated by Google) Australia has a lot of places like this. There is a playground but big for children. Wetland Park. (Original) 호주는 이런곳이 많아서 그런지 대부분 한산함. 놀이터는 있으나 큰 어린이 용. 습지공원.

Beautiful area of park and wetlands

Great place for walking

Great place to relax and listen to the wildlife. A few too many flying bugs the evening we visited! There's a huge grassed area which is perfect for a dog run, but if they like chasing ducks I'd suggest leaving them on lead.

No toilet facilities

Great place for a morning walk

nice walking and entertainment for kids

Nice walking tracks

Lovely for a walk

It's beautiful

Wonderful Park with big open spaces and lots of trees and shade for those warmer days. Highly recommend visiting the lake in the park.

A relaxing place for all the family. Bring all your own food & drinks. Everything you need for a picnic. There is some covered tables. They went fast. We brought our own table & chairs & found shaddy trees. Plenty of open areas for the kids to run a round. There is a toilet block to use.

Really nice a distinct lack of the steak bakes and other baked goods means that it is not as good as Greg's but is a pleasant place to spend some time

Really nice park with even a reserve that's not allowed dogs! How very thoughtful! Cafe there was also reasonably priced. Look out for Lycra warriors zooming throughout the park! Warning: no bins anywhere.

I love this place here is peaceful and a lot of big tree in here I’ve been here a lot of time good place!

A popular park with flat lakeside 30 mins walks. Half way between a real walk in the Dandenongs and tramping round the burbs. Suits elderly and groups for picnics.

Clean beautiful space for some post COVID relaxation...

A good spot for gathering with colleagues and friends for an outing or BBQ party.

Fabulous place to go, walking bikes disability suitable walking tracks

A lovely park to walk, talk an enjoy a picnic at. If the outdoors is your vibe than id definitely recommend it.

This is a beautiful park. It has ample car park facility. So many park benches are available. The lake view is so good and makes this park very special. It has some wonderful track to do running. Nice coffee shop located at the Centre of the park, don't miss out. Also it has party hall to host. Please check out the availability due to covid. Toilets are well maintained and clean when we visited. This park hosts Parkrun on Saturday morning 8 am that should not be missed.

Over rated based on people's opinions. Lot of grass area with not much on it. Think the appeal is the size of the place.

Large open spaces safe for kids, bike and walking paths, BBQs some with shelters. Plenty of parking.

Good walking

Got lost

Very Nice park. Relaxing. Nice cafe.

Great park, kids and pets friendly.

Lovely place

Great atmosphere, everyone having a good time

Amazing massive park, perfect for bikes and picnic

Lovely as always.

A great place for those who love birds and birdwatching. There are plenty of different bird species flying and hiding around. There's also a hiding spot where you can sit under the roof and witness the hectic life on the lake. There are also nice areas for picnic, the huge lawn makes it possible to play all kinds of sports. Apart from that there are many trails you could take if you like hiking but I'd not recommend doing that when it's sunny and hot as there is little shadow.

Amazing scenery and walking experience. The lake is beautiful to watch. Big place to play with your family or couples. A lot of free space parking.

Awesome place to spend a day out.. Picnic at the expansive grounds, kids play in the play zone with lots of fun and engaging stuff.. There's even a restaurant that serves quality food and coffee

A fabulous huge green space with many playgrounds, toilets and picnic tables. There are a number of roofed structures in case of adverse weather.

Very beautiful place. Peaceful environment Very good walking tracks around the lake. Nice Cycling trails..

Lovely park, lots of room, shady trees. Some play areas and a cafeteria, but perfect for picnics.

They should put sails over the playground to protect the kids from the sun

On Sunday 17th Jan 2021 I had the unfortunate experience to visit the ladies toilet facilities. They were a disgrace - filthy, smelly and totally unacceptable for the general public to use. I expect better from a government organisation that is so focussed on health & well being esp with the current health challenges. Direct some funding to clean these facilities.

Lovely place for family recreation and friends gathering.

Really enjoyed coming to visit this park. Wide open beautiful space, perfect for a picnic and sport with friends.

Perfect hiking spot, you can tailor your hike to your fitness level

Best spatious park in Melbourne, lots of wildlife.

Peacefull

Well maintained and a great spot to chill along the way to Dandenong along the bike track

I really enjoyed this park. Beautiful view.

Nice to walk and relax after work.... Hidden gem to found this photo captured.. Still good view from this lake....

Always a good day out at Jells Park. Enough room for everyone.

FYI you can host parties with no sound or time restrictions!

In need of a lot of maintenance.

Massive playground, green and blue sky or lake. That is all I need there. This place is for everyone, family, couple, kids etc. Love this place.

Beautiful suburban park, playgrounds for the kids, good for picnics or bird watching, Cafe too.

My favourite place for a run or a walk. Big enough to keep my run and walks interesting - my regular go-to place for a break in work!

Beautiful and scenic park great views of the nearby mountain, perfect for running, family outing, picnics or just walking.

It's beautiful, big enough so that there is plenty of space for a lot people to have some outdoor fun. The lake views are amazing!

Relaxing ambiance. One of my favorite parks in Melbourne. Winter, Spring, Summer, or Autumn it's a good place to spend with friends and family, You can make alot of good memories in this park. And also thanks for upgrading the Playground.

Awesome new playground. Well done - epic fun across the age groups. A water play park and it would be perfection😁

It's a beautiful park with natural bird sanctuary for the ibis, herons etc. Big park for families to bring children for a picnic. There are at least 2 playground and great walking trails with great views of huge ponds with lots of wildlife. There is also a cafe for coffee there too. Plus public gas BBQ station.

This is a well planned and laid out park. Lots of ancillary services ie netball and soccer fields. The park has a multiple car parks, a cafe, bitumen cycleway, toilets, park benches/tables, a lake and a fantastic playground area. Dogs are allowed on leash.

A peaceful park to visit. The park is very spacious. Great for picnic or an afternoon walk.

Great place for a walk. Massive park. Plenty to do. Just dont bother to get a coffee from the only cafe in the park....just not good.

Very peaceful place, nice to visit in Spring!

Great place to hangout and have a picnic or have a walk. Relaxing atmosphere…

It's a nice park to have pinic and walk the doggie. Very spacious if having pinic. park near to the east entrance car park to have access to toilet and cafe. There are two little playgrounds nearby. Haven't explore the entire park. There's a section where it is a reserve with wild life and dogs are not allow in that section.

Superb and popular open bushland park with ample parking, under cover picnic tables and chairs, BBQ's, toilets and playgrounds makes Jells park one of the jewels of the Eastern suburbs. Look out for the abundant native bird life. Great place to go for a picnic with the family. Remember to take your rubbish home with you at the end of the day.

Jells park is a classic... 4 stars because it sometimes become very crowded but maybe I'm too harsh. I like the walk around the lake, it is peaceful and easy to do even for seniors. If you pick a quiet day, then it is 5*.

Huge beautiful park, perfect for long walks and hangouts! Lots of birds to see as well as endless stretches of green lawn and a lake as well. There can be many visitors but the park is big enough that it doesn’t become an issue. Get walking!

Jells Park is an oasis of parkland nestled amongst quiet suburb Wheelers Hill, urban development and busy roads. As you stroll through the park’s Red Gum grassy woodlands, heathland and around the wetlands, it's easy to forget you're surrounded by the suburbs. And busy roads. This is a great park for a family day out. Cook up a feast on one of the free electric barbecues or enjoy a picnic on the lawn. Kids of all ages will love exploring the adventure playground. Modules are included for junior kids and disabled access, as well as older children. Braeside Park offers a variety of educational and recreational opportunities. Get active and walk, jog or cycle along the multi-purpose trails. Walk around the lank and you’ll find the bird watching hut. Stroll through the park’s Red Gum grassy woodlands, and around the wetlands. A series of complex and valuable environmental communities find their home here. Discover the diverse range of bird life, listen for frogs.

Back to jells park again. Beautiful park, perfect for long walks every weekend. Always super busy and popular during weekend not easy to find a parking around playground. You can have a BBQ, picnic with family, go for a walk around the lake, see the birds or ride a bike there. Cafe on site for breakfast & lunch.

Beautiful scenic park with the most gorgeous view of the mountains and lake. This is literally THE perfect spot for a picnic on a warm day or to walk your dog. There are plenty of picnic benches to enjoy lunch with friends/family, although the ground is also quite flat and soft if you would rather lay out a picnic rug on the grass. I will definitely be coming back here again soon!

Beautiful park! Great for walk/run or a relaxing picnic party with kids playground around the corner.

One of the biggest parks in suburban Melbourne. It's got plenty of parking and is usually busy in good weather. Being such a big park means you don't feel the crowd. There is usually a place to set your picnic area on the ground. It's a dog friendly place so you do see lots of people with their dogs. Its got a cycle tracks and lots of people running and jogging. The Lakes a good place to sit and watch the ducks.

Huge area to walk around with your fury friend. All the amenities and plenty of parking spaces available at this place.

Great place to relax, have barbecue, have fun with the family, or just enjoy the nature walking around the whole lake.
