Visited specifically to see the Diamond Valley Railway. Eltham Lower Park is a beautiful setting for this very popular attraction. Oval, picnic area, walking trails. Was good to see the enormous amount of new planting that had been carried out. Great place to have a walk and take in the fresh air.

There are many great freinds for your dog if you have one. It is my dog's second home. Lots of space for different walks, picnics and swimming. Lots of regular people happy to be out with their best freind.

Plenty of parking at the playground. A good range of play facilities for different age group.

Great park with a few lovely walking paths along the creek and parkland around it. With an open pitch for Football and an enclosed pitch used for Cricket, Lacrosse an enclosed dog park this is a popular, well used community park. Also home to the Eltham minute railway two playgrounds and a BBQ area. The only downside is that in the peek of summer and many weekends (particularly when the railway is open) it can attract more visitors than the already large Carparks can handle and often creates a lot of congestion in and out of Eltham.

Nifty little playground area, but is like the poor cousin of the larger playground on the other side of the oval. Still, two BBQ areas, a small flying fox, swings, some climbing structures and lots of space in which to run around. Heaps of car parking.

Good looking park, has a small playground, just note you are unable to turn right when you leave, left turn only.

Eltham Lower Park is a large park with great facilities and scenic natural bushland. Three different sites are available for picnics; the western end (within the rail loop) has tables and shelter. The northen playground has great equipment, shelters tables, toilets and BBQs. The southern site is quietest and has basic play equipment, toilets, tables, shade cloth and BBQs. The bike/walking track provides access along the creek and into Eltham. Highlight is of course the marvellous Diamond Valley Railway.

We had a birthday party here yesterday and it was fabulous. Enough tables for everybody and a barbecue. An undercover gazebo with more tables and chairs. An hours worth of train rides and very friendly conductors and drivers. A lovely four hours spent in comfortable surroundings.

Eltham Lower Park in Eltham offers a fantastic family-friendly environment. The park's serene ambiance, well-maintained green spaces, and various recreational facilities make it an ideal spot for families. One notable highlight is the miniature railway, providing an additional layer of enjoyment for both children and adults. The park's overall atmosphere, coupled with the charming miniature railway, creates a delightful experience for family outings.

Nice infrastructure! Lots of cool activities to do with kids - oval, beautiful park nearby, and even a tiny railroad! The only downside is that the play area gets super crowded

Great place to bring children for a ride on the model railway

Very family-friendly park & Train lover's delight. Entire area was very clean and easy accessible.

Has a great walking track. Plenty of room for a kick a ball around. Playground. Miniature railway rides for kids on some days

Grew up here, makes me feel so nostalgic coming back.

Great park area. We went to enclosed playground but I remember coming here as a child and seeing the miniature railway that is still here and operating. There is plenty for people to do here

Fantastic park all round. There is heaps going on here! The miniature railway is an icon of Eltham and it’s great to see that it is still operational. The playground is a great place for the kids as well it was upgraded a number of years ago now it’s safe to say it was a good investment. The only thing I don’t like about this place is the cricket club here there are a terrible club and the panthers are way better!

Awesome park. Something for literally everyone from adult horse riding to massive ovals and.....Did i mention a miniature train. Just wow. Very dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate volunteers. This was a great experience, can't recommend it highly enough

Great mini railway heaps of fun even for adults

Good place to go walkies, with,or without, dog.

Beautiful park, lot of activities to do. A great place for family picnic.

Ample parking,mini train ride, play and picnic area, amenities along with a walk to the creek....family fun.

Great park with nice running tracks.

Best place to take your dog for a swim in the river on a hot summer day. There will be plenty of other dogs for your dog to socialise with. 🙂🙂

Always a great place to take the kids, who love the trains especially. Easy parking with plenty of space to picnic too.

I walk there and it has bern a big part of my recent lockdown fitness journey.

Park with terrific facilities and enjoyable walk along the Yarra River. Seeing a family of Geese was a bonus!

Plenty of parking. Playground, Diamond Valley Railway, Picnic areas, on Sunday there are food, now, and coffee vendors. Well maintained toilet. One of the best suburban parks around Melbourne

Great day for the kids and family .

Omg what a truly beautiful place to be. I was working outside for the day but was able to drive around some of the most gorgeous of places I’ve ever been to.. truly a lovely place .. and somewhere I would love to live

We walk the dog here. The park is lovely and well maintained with interesting walks through the wetlands around the back.

A pretty good park with a Cricket ground that doubles as Lacrosse pitch and a fully enclosed Dog Park. There's also another green that's used for mixed sports and a miniature railway that runs around the Main Road and Creek section of the park. On the downside the drainage can be a bit rubbish after high rainfall and the dog park element is lacking better planning, particularly considering there are probably more people using this space to exercises and socialise dogs than use it for sports over the course of a typical week. There is also a number of trails around the park and plenty of circuits around the park as well as longer walks you can take starting from there.

Mini trains, river nearby, lots of trails, dog friendly areas, 2 minutes from Eltham Town for cafes, supermarkets & shopping.

A lovely day out with the kids. The miniature railway is a winner, even when busy there is barely any wait time. The playground has something of everything.

Nice park. The bbq facilities are good. Finding a spot in the car park can be a problem though. The highlight of the park is the miniature trains of course. I like to support the enthusiasts behind the trains but the queue is often so long that it is not worth waiting for.

Roadworks equipment have been using part of this part as a turning circle, leaving a vast tract of muddy soil around what used to be a wonderful picnic/bbq area. They’ve also taken up many of the parking spaces to store equipment that’s not being used. 👎🏼👎🏼

Enjoyed the playground, slides, climbing gym, butterfly things to hop on. Toilets and carpark nearby, sports field across the carpark. It's also beside Hohnes road playhouse which was excellent.

Tucked away in park this kindergarten was the perfect venue for children's birthday party, play area, swings, climbing apparatus and a safe area where they can supervised and monitored. The kitchen had everything required and a fun afternoon was had by all.

This is an amazing park. Aside from the well maintained ovals, toilets and car parks, the park has one of the best miniature railways around, a horse riding paddock and a fantastic kids playground. It adjoins the Diamond Creek and Yarra River. It has a great circuit of trails that link to the Main Yarra Trail. A fantastic resource.

Great kids playground, fully fenced in with a good range of equipment for different age groups. No dogs allowed in the playground area. Adjacent to the Eltham Mini Trains.

Good place for a walk with your fur baby, toilets at this park even a train ride for fee of course but decent very popular area for all. Even have a BBQ or picnic if want too.

Gets very very busy on weekends. Popular spot for birthday parties. Decent enough toilet amenities. I love that it's fenced.

Every thing closed and convenient. Toilets, bins, play area and bbq.. the train is fun

It is a great park for families with a mini railway that you can ride and bbq areas and play areas for the young ones

Love the enclosed oval that the dogs can be on when sport is not being played as well as the walking tracks around the park and to Petty's Orchard.

Went there only for the train ride. Park is alright nothing fancy

The joyful toy train ride is the best. 3$ pee person and you couldn't ask anything better for that. It's a must do

Best dog park.

Beautiful

Recommended park for families

(Translated by Google) Need to book in advance during the epidemic (Original) 疫情下需要提前booking

Nice and lovely with toilets and closed play area for the kids Gas BBQ is available too.

$3 rides.... and a really great park and plenty of toilets, a great day could be had here, even for just the arvo even

There's plenty of parking spots except a day of steam train running. All the equipments and facilities are well maintained.

A beautiful place to walk, ride your MTB, or photograph wildlife.

Excellent now tickets can be purchased on line. Great friendly staff. Lovely clean environment.

Great wide walking path, lots of parking. Public toilets are available. Nice playgrounds.

Cheap day out for the family, well worth the visit.

Has many walking tracks,. miniature railway, playground, bbq, football oval and plenty of parking.

Beautiful worth going 👍👍

Parking was difficult (very busy day) service and ride was pleasurable for the entire family. Kids loved the teddy bear picknic theme for the day.

Great place to walk the dogs. Lots of different paths and relatively flat. Clean fresh air in bushland environment.

Best value in Australia. You do not get a steam train, it is diesel.

Ovals that sit next to where the miniature railway operates and next to the walking track that stretches from diamond creek to westerfolds and beyond. Fair amount of parking spaces that lay around the edge of the ovals. There’s also a few playgrounds as well for the kids.

Lovely walking track but beware of dogs off lead where they're not supposed to be.

Very nice family friendly park, with bike/walking tracks, mini trains, playground and oval.

Great space for little ones. Fully fenced play area with bbq facilities, a few tables, and soft ground for picnic set ups

Good layout, well presented.

Open space to run around or walking tracks while parks are closed during lockdown good amenities

Great fenced in kids area, miniature railway and oval. Coffee cart there on busy weekends. Could do with more permanent food/beverage options plus better drainage on grassy areas

Awesome place to take the kids for a miniature train ride.

I have run all the creek and river trails in greater Melbourne. And so I have run Diamond Creek Trail. The starting point of which is Eltham Lower Park, right on the confluence of Diamond Creek and the Yarra. And so I have experienced the park before sunrise and in the heat of day. Like all urban parks in Melbourne the local Council does a great job of maintaining them. Its a great spot.

Wonderful nature, lots of kangaroos

Great price for a family picnic, and the miniature train rides are great fun

Great place to visit, picnic, walk and yes the trains. You must definately visit here with your kids and family.

Awesome place to bring young kids. The trains are fantastic.

Little train

Always love coming down here for a walk!

Love the miniature trains. Also the large playground.

Good area for bikes and family

Lots of different areas for different kinds of groups.

Good short walk around the park

Great place to bring the family, plenty of space for the kids to have a run around and explore.

My son really enjoyed our walk

Excellent walk around the track love It r

Some nice off-the beaten-track walks. Not too many cyclists.

Good for the kids

Great walking track for prams and the playground looks like so much fun! Parking was great and very conveniently placed right near the playground and mini train depot!
