An expansive park with a whole range of tracks and some great picnic spots. The tram is an undercover seating area and great for larger groups and picnics. There's a small park a various tracks including more hilly routes and several that were quite flat. Lots of birdlife here and ample shade on the walks from the tree cover. Good for running or taking the dog for a long walk!

Huge park! Great place to walk, run or cycle. Plenty of shade for the sunnier days and ample parking to be found. Quite hilly and has a few steeper slopes, so just make sure to watch your step. Lovely visit. Kookaburras here, too!

Wattle Park is a hidden gem in Burwood, Victoria. It has amazing views, historic features, native plants and animals, and lots of activities for kids. It is open every day from sunrise to sunset, and it is free to enter. Wattle Park is a great place to relax, play, or explore. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful parklands with amazing walking tracks through the bush land and also open space to have picnics and BBQ’s. A new playground has been built which great for kids. Definitely recommend.

Good large park to enjoy a walk in the eastern suburbs, some of the paths could be maintained a bit better though

Excellent place for a walk. Beautiful gardens and scenery. There is a great big playground which looks perfect for families.

Always a great spot and the reworked playground and picnic areas are great. can get busy. No rubbish bins that I could see so plan accordingly.

It's been run down for so long but now, some great development. A new imaginative playground, pathways, seats and barbeques. The playground includes an earth mound with slides and climbing equipment. There's also a great water play area. Set in remnant and planted bushland with an oval and a golf course, it's a huge area. The grandkids love it. Great place to walk the dog (must stay on lead).

Took a beautiful walk after dinner, the oval was great for walking and exercising.

Wattle park is a wonderful place with table and chairs and picnic area. It has a nice playground

Very spacious, nice walking trails, couldn’t see many birds, but that’s probably because of my timing, was midday.

This park has a lot to offer. Whether one wants to play cricket on a newly built pitch or to experience running in the woods, this park is a must visit. Also, the 2 tram models parked there provide a unique touch to it while providing a vintage experience at the same time. It has got a golf course, tennis club and a wedding venue too.

Lovely place to take my toddler. He loves the old trams. Lots of space and not cramped in. Best to go during the week when it's quiet

Serendipity. Walking our little Jack Russell, Teddy.

Christmas lunch for two, sweet chilli prawns with honey, oysters with lemon sorbet followed by ham glazed with maple syrup, honey and grain mustard, BBQ chicken and a walnut, pear and blue cheese salad, what better place than Wattle Park. Perfect Aussie bush surrounds, a nice clean area and to share with the local native Aussie birds. Don't forget to take home your rubbish, no bins, no flies

Fabulous place to visit with the kids. Lots of wonderful natural bush to walk and a stunning Tudor style Chalet for receptions .

Beautifully tranquil place

It’s a beautiful and quiet park, my 3yo loves this place so much. The playgrounds are surrounded by a lot of big trees, it’s very chill and comfortable. It’s great for family gatherings and picnics.

I'm often here for relaxation and a brief walk. Park is well kept and quiet, it's on a hill, has paths and a sealed road. Playground is very popular for the young. Will be nicer when restoration of the trams is complete.

It's a spacious and lovely park that features historic buildings, picnic grounds and recreational facilities. It's an excellent location for a variety of activities with family and friends. The Chalet, which is situated next to the parking lot, is a popular venue for functions. There's also a playground for the kids next to the old trams which are sitting there. It's a great place to go during the day!

On a recent visit to Wattle Park we saw a board for a Cafe at the side of the Chalet. We went to the "cafe" a week later. The area looks like a service area for the Chalet. There were only 2 tables to sit at. Even though they had Iced Coffees they couldn't make an Iced Chocolate. 😢 The food on offer was 1 croissant 🥐and 1 muffin 🧁 Not enough food for the four of us. We had to get up and leave.

Good park for the family.. The old trams are fun for little ones. Downside is that the trams are full of empty beer bottles

Fantastic park for a walk or a picnic. Parking is difficult as it's a popular place. Get there early.

A great park to take a walk, picnic, jogging, BBQing, you name it. It's got playground for children and a golf course next to it. You can host your wedding in the chalet here too.

Really enjoyed the park, but as it was 20°c it was ideal. I dread however, what it would be like in summer with no shade and metal slides! Please cover the park so it will be usable, as besides that, it was a lot of fun for everyone

Nice green area, lot of shade

One good thing to come out of lock down is that we have spent a bit more time finding places to go that are local to us. Wish we'd known about this park much earlier - lovely walk, fun play area for the kids, and old trams converted so you can have picnics in them. And even though there were quite a few people there, it did not really feel that busy because of the size of the park.

Lots of space despite the crowds. Beautiful in the sunshine of a cool spring morning.

It’s a beautiful and quiet park.

Amazing Park, lots to discover.

Lovely park with lots of different trails to walk around

A great park, loads of tracks to choose from. Very easy walking and a good playground complete with old trams. A great place to visit to get away from it all in the middle of a leafy pretty neighbourhood.

Lovely, open air, plenty of grassy knolls. With BBQ, cafe, everything for a perfect picnic.

Wattle Park is a great park for family gatherings, picnics etc. There is a bar be cue, a few tables with bench seats, a couple of old trams have been secured in the park for children to play on as well as other climbing equipment and a slide. At the moment - December/January - the park is very dry. I would love to visit again after some cooler, wetter weather. There is adequate parking, mostly in the shade and a couple of parking spacrs ate allocated for Disability Parking.

Still preserved as much as it were when first seen in 1967. Bit traffic noisier, but the Botanical growth reduces this a bit. Saw no tadpoles in creek, which might be out of season until later next year with Spring.

Two old trams parked for kids play. Two playground. Lots BBQ and seats.

Love this park to bits. A great place to walk, spend time with friends, golf & relax.

Great off lead dog Park, good dogs, owners that get it , just watch out for occasional bike rider that don't slow down.

Great park with walking paths and bbq facilities. it is especially nice this time of the year when wattle is blooming. The old trams in the play area are nice for kids and the park has easy access

My niece just had her wedding at the Chalet on Sunday and reception at the Tea rooms. Lovely day. Food was excellent.

absolutely loving this park. shot some of my new music video here today! my dog came with me and couldn’t stop smiling. beautiful foliage, expansive greenery with so many tall trees and hidden areas to explore, it’s a great place for the whole family, toilets and water taps available. i could take my shoes off and simply relax for hours!

Met our photographer there for a family photo shoot. What a wonderful surprise. Lovely playground and a bush walk track. Plenty of open nature space.

Tram is under renovation, otherwise the playground and area is lovely.

Perfect spot for a BBQ! The carpark is close enough that you don't need to walk too far with all thr BBq items. Playground was also big and the kids had lots of fun.

A pleasant park with a couple of old trams as picnic places. There is playground and some other facilities. It is filled with Australian natives.

Awesome spot to bring the family and your furry friends. Great playground for the kids and walking tracks for the doggy

Best park in the east! Traaaam ding ding

A tram with picnic tables in it, how Melbourne is that!

Since my first visit as a child in the 1970's I have always loved the atmosphere of this park!

I like this!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful (Original) 很美

A lovely bit of nature to enjoy "away" from City life.

Nice park with heaps of nature all around. Unfortunately the kids playgrounds are closed at the moment because of covid restrictions but there are still trails around the park to walk. We saw kookaburras and lots of parrots. It's quite an enjoyable trip and definitely worth checking out.

Fox is there!

Always a great place for a friends catch up & bbq. Good clean easy to operate bbqs, don’t forget to clean up after use ! The playground & tram in need of an update but still a great place for kids to run & explore.

Beautiful park for a lazy day out. Park facilitates bbq, tennis, walking trail, kids play ground. Not too far from city.

There are free to use public BBQ's

Nice park to take the kids out to! It has two classic trams for photo opportunity!

Delightful playground with old school trams for kids to play on. Just lovely in general will definitely be back soon

Good place to enjoy with kids.

Nice place, well maintained and clean. Great bike/walking track

Lovely park. Lots of people walking around and very peaceful. Great for cyclists also with lots of riding options (mtb and cyclocross).

Love the old school trams kept near the play area but the rest of the park looked a bit dull and boring.

Beautiful place to have a walk, and feel like you're out in the country.

Really good place to unwind or get a good run for the day. Pretty decent BBQ area too. The park is historically significant but doesn't advertise much about the same.

Good park

Beautiful location, nice playground

Great local park. Makes you feel like you're away from Melbourne despite being in the middle of it

Serenity plus, great place to walk the dog, practice for long hilly adventures overseas or just relax with family and friends.

It is big here. You can feel peaceful here.

Beautiful place from my childhood in the 1960s - 70s. Always remember the old tram and the playground. Sugary treats from the kiosk made our day and gave us headaches on the old school whizzy dizzy roundabout ?

i’m blessed to live so close to a consolation

great spacious park with lots of trails, BBQ space, playgrounds, chateau for functions, golf course, tennis courts, huge oval. Huge trees provide lots of shade.

Fantastic park for family get together wirth huge playground, plenty of tables & bbqs.

Nice park for bushwalk and picnic with a massive playground for kids. Plenty of bench seats and picnic tables with bbq facilities. There are two old trams transformed into undercover picnic areas.

Nice big open bit of urban bush with some old tram carriages to hang out in

Central to North East suburbs

Wattle park has it all - a chalet that has preserved its heritage, a fantastic circuit for hiking, kids' play areas, enough space for parking, decent bbq cooktops. However, a shed in the bbq area is badly needed ( the vintage tram carriage that is in place within the bbq area is crammed with tables making it difficult for multiple groups to take refuge while it's raining outside or when it's a hot day and visitors are willing to have a break from the unforgiving sun).

Family friendly

Great place for tree bathing and breathing in

nice park, peaceful when its not crowded, and great for barbecues. theres quite a few trails that lead into the "forest" area which are quite fun to explore. there are around two ponds, one large "woods" area, an oval, a picnic/barbecue spot, and a playground. there is also a running/walking circuit which is quite good
