    Great place for families, dog owners, and the occasional runner/PT class. Has a play ground which is well equipped and complete with bbq and tables under cover. Public toilets which are very clean. Cricket grounds and a footy oval can be used for doing laps, letting your doggo run free or the reason in which it was created for. So if you just want to stretch your legs, go take a look.

    Pretty nice and green park with a really good view as it's a bit higher than other areas. There is a football field and a cricket field as well. Great for picnic and get together and hanging around with friends and play little games. There is a place for kids to play around as well. It is also pet friendly. I have seen a lot of people coming here in the afternoon with their pets and children playing over here. There's a walkway aroind the whole park so can have a walk for 5-7 mins around it as well.

    This park is immaculate with fancy swings, nets etc. It is in the City of Boroondura and the electorate of Kooyong so probably the recipient of sports rorts cash. Unfortunately it was not enough to save Josh Frydenberg. Good on the people of Balwyn for booting him out.

    The facilities are great and there is a fantastic playground, there is street parking but there is a time limits, l went to watch the football and the first game was great but when the second game started about 30 young boys sat next to me and started drinking and swearing which made me very uncomfortable and l don't think the families with little children appreciate it either.

    It's always awesome to visit this park with stunning views of city as it is well situated on height. Play area for kids, occasional club matches, and two big parks, practice nets for cricket, tennis courts and few more are under construction. Not suitable for picnics, no barbecue.

    Always beautiful here. Well maintained, no litter and not places for idiots to hide. Is a nice well maintained playground to the kids, two ovals, and a cricket net area. I don't know if there's toilet I don't think there is however there is water on tap next to the clubhouse on the lower Oval.

    Kids seem to really like this park, they can make play basketball, ride bikes and scooters, climb on the climbing gym and play on the play ground. Toilets are accessible too which is important with kids.

    Very good play equipment for children. Heaps of parking. Lovely BBQ area for family. All in all good park for everyone.

    This is a great park, I'm glad they've kept the historical entrance, complete with a little room to collect fees! Unused these days but interesting to see. They've got numerous different weight machines here, all cleverly designed to use your body mass, no pulleys involved. There's a table tennis setup, bring your own bats and balls, also a table football setup, also bring your own ball. There's a BBQ and shaded area near the kids play area, a public toilet, two football areas, rectangle and oval, a basketball court with other games painted on the court too, some cricket nets (I think) and a couple of club houses, old and new.

    Two large playing ovals. We were there just before sunset - no-one around and very tranquil.

    A nice oval and park located right in the heart of Balwyn. The new playground area really takes the place to the next level and is a great set up for everyone to enjoy. Easy walk to the local shops/cafes makes this a convenient spot for exercise and refreshments.
