  • 4/5 Rusty R. 3 years ago on Google • 60 reviews
    Excellent park with a great playground. Near the playground you’ll find ample parking, shady trees, park benches, picnic tables, bbq’s, and a water drinking fountain. The playground itself looks well maintained, and there is brand new mulch/tan-bark at the moment. Playground has: - flying fox - two separate sets of swings - mini trampoline - playground equipment for kids of all ages

    Very well designed park. Has a good playground and many ovals. If your planning on going there on a weekend just know that there is Saturday morning sport. It is home to 1st North Balwyn Scouts, netball, cricket, soccer and a fitness club located inside the scout hall. Is also located next to a lawn balls club.

    LARGE AND GREEN BUT VERY BUSY MacLeay Park is nestled within the North Balwyn residential streets and is a good place for kids to run (or bike) around. It is largely sports fields rather than a park so expect large lawn ovals rather than heavily treed areas. It gets very busy on weekends as the local kids descend on their bikes to take advantage of the large asphalt area. Access to the park is available from a number of streets and there is parking available within the park grounds

    It's part of a chain of parks in the area that lets you walk for kilometres. These parks are well used by people. Expect dogs being walked frequently misbehaving. Expect people playing games such as cricket, baseball, netball. On game days parking is a big issue and the place is best avoided then. During quiet times it's great to get outside and see some nature.

    This park has it all! Soccer fields, cricket pitches, netball courts, toilets, tourists and club rooms. The space is really well looked after and offers a great area for the community to gather and play sports.

    I love this park… It has lots of cool features like the flying fox! Something that can be improved is having more pieces of playground equipment… Overall, it’s a marvellous park!!! 😁

  • 4/5 Norman C. 1 year ago on Google • 204 reviews
    A fantastic playground with flying fox, lots of play and climbing equipment and item areas. Lacks shade, and only one BBQ facility(?). Easy parking but gets busy when outdoor sports are on.

    There is a bus station nearby to go to Box Hill and the city.

  • 5/5 Bhaskar M. 1 year ago on Google • 62 reviews
    15.45 hectares of tranquility and peaceful greenery. Home to many endangered Tawny Frogmouths as well as Rose Breasted Galahs. Baseball diamonds, soccer fields, cricket nets and netball courts - it has it all.

    Lovely leafy park, perfect for families with young children but also adolescents playing netball and other sports. There's also a very nice path along the perimeter of the park, where you can walk, jog and ride your bike.

  • 5/5 Jiger N. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good ground for club cricket

  • 4/5 Norman C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great park that was done up years ago. Excellent playground, loads of parking and heaps of shade. Electric BBQ and toilet facilities down near the cricket oval. Great hard court for riding, skating or scootering, when there's no netball. My old primary school park for cricket and footy.

  • 4/5 Peter Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Wide open space for walks, run and bike. Take my dog for runs while i ride the bike. Also a great place for kicking the footy as there are a couple of ovals there

  • 4/5 Josh 3 years ago on Google
    Does the job

  • 5/5 David just D. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is fun filled , spacious and very well planned. Thr netball ball courts provide and area for learning how to bike and scooter as i have done for my boys. Bring a picnic and sit near the near playgrounds under the many tree shaded areas.

  • 5/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great facilities, plenty of space and good walking trails around the sports grounds.

  • 5/5 Leigh H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 P E. 2 years ago on Google
    How lucky are we to have this beautiful leash free park in our vicinity. Lots of bins, seating, water fountains with dog facilities, a great playground and a beautiful, tree shaded walking track thank you Boroondara.

  • 5/5 Mark T. 2 years ago on Google
    A good quality community soccer pitch (the turf is probably better than AAMI park) plus public facilities. There is plenty of parking for parents. There are also netball hoops and basketball rings. Overall, a great place bring the family or just exercise.

  • 5/5 Carloz B. 2 years ago on Google
    Always busy. Hard to get a park as lots of sports being played. Good play park for kids. Plenty of space to run around. If you get a park, mainly on weekend mornings.

  • 4/5 H. Keith G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely wide parks & games areas, with parking on-site

  • 5/5 Bhavnadevi P. 2 years ago on Google
    Convenient for me to walk my dog. Children play ground is busy at times. All ovals are busy during weekends with cricket or footy. Lovely and active place.

  • 4/5 Melina P. 2 years ago on Google
    This park holds so many memories its such a good park. Many doggies i can chase with maddy so the dogs are a 10/10 ( expect the ones that attacked us lol). always go here with friends and we have a good time and spill all the gossip which is fun. i also dont like the weird swooping birds trying to kill me and maddy. one of bad experiences at this park is when SWAS decided to DROP the MCDONALDS he had gotten for us. sad. theres not that many creepy stalkers so thats also good. I dont like that the trees are FILLED with spiders bc they can kill u. not any HUGE spiders yet like at leigh park. overall great park : D

  • 5/5 Angus C. 3 years ago on Google
    It's green, it's as handsome as the Hemsworth's

  • 5/5 BJD 3 years ago on Google
    It's huge and includes a dozen odd hard courts side by side for the flat earth lovers. Couldn't see any basketball rings though, I think there's one or two much further down in the school itself.
