    Came here on a Wednesday afternoon whilst trying to waste some time. Getting here by foot was reasonable but had to move out of the way of cyclists who were choosing to ride on the footpath rather than the road. Outside the fenced playground were several exercise stations that my youngest enjoyed. Within the playground there was play equipment for both young and older kids including a couple of flying foxes.

    Magnificent playground for young kids and toddlers. It has 2 basketball rings and a flying fox. Park is also near an oval and alongside a nice bike ride that joins the main Yarra trail and other bike trails. Bbq and toilets available Warmly recommended

    The kids absolutely love this place. The huge playground has so many things for them to do. The slides are great. The flying fox is fast but fun. Lots of places to sit and relax. Love that it's fenced in. One of the loveliest parks in the northern suburbs. Lots of parking too.

    Excellent playground with great equipment including a double flying fox. It can get remarkably busy, so pick your times. 11am Saturday is pretty full on so if your children are social it's great. If not, perhaps try earlier mornings or late afternoon.

    GREAT SPOT FOR ALL AGES! Wide, flat bike/walking trail and parking nearby. Playground excellent and has flying fox. Bring a picnic! Plenty of birds to spot along the trail.

    A truly lovely place to take the family for the day or an afternoon. There is plenty of parking around. But do take note of the day you visit. There are many ovals around this playground that are used for sporting games (AFL and Soccer). So some days all the parking is taken. Bring some food to BBQ too as there are hot plates here that you can use.

    Great space for kids to play with lots of activities including swings, slides, climbing ropes, swing bridges and flying foxes. Has a small shop which sells food, drinks, coffees, and icecream. Set in a natural bush setting so kids can also just play amongst the trees and logs. Good BBQ facilities and toilets. Kids and parents love it!

    Lots of climbing ropes, a couple smaller metal slides and swings too. Pro ably favourite part for my son was the bridge. Very nice walking trails nearby too.

    Great play area for kids, although gets crowded often. Clean toilets, BBQ area, lots of parking, basketball hoop and considerate play area for special needs.

    Great playground for kids of all ages. Enclosed play space, basketball court, play equipment, flying fox, BBQs, undercover area, picnic spots and trees to climb. Across the road is a footy field, bike track alongside and walking trail in amongst nature. Might even spot some kangaroos along the way.

    Amazing playground! Great for all ages and it's fenced!! It has a great little coffee shop with friendly staff, and public toilets which are always clean. Easy to access and lots of parking. The playground is right next to a sports field, for kids that would like to kick a ball around, and the Main Yarra Trail for kids who want to go for a bike ride!

  • 5/5 Sergio D. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this playground. Some shade from sails over the playground. Lots to do for kids. An undercover area to sit and eat. It even has a basketball court

  • 4/5 Jason W. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place space for all ages. Climbing apparatuses, bridges, slides and swings plus basketball courts. Shaded areas with tables I'd you need a break for food.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice playground park with a variety of equipment including swings, a flying fox and a mixture of slides. Nice wide footpath as well as two disability toilets. Wouldn’t recommend for very small toddlers as the equipment is really for older kids. Plenty of parking and covered bbq area. Overall a nice park.

  • 5/5 Alvin Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Little one loves it. Plenty of space and play facilities to suit different age groups.

  • 4/5 Carrie L. 1 year ago on Google
    A playground with a shed which is good when kids go to play when it is raining.

  • 5/5 Michele D. 6 months ago on Google
    Very good flying fox. Monkey bars were really fun. 8 year old girls review.

  • 5/5 Megan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little park! Well it's not really that little. It's quite a generous with various areas, and completely fenced in.

  • 5/5 Deidre T. 1 year ago on Google
    The paths were swept, the area was well fenced off and clean. Great for kids of all ages.

  • 5/5 Catherine G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good. Very safe, fenced in playground with a range of facilities for different age groups/ abilities. The Cafe was open too when we went which had good coffee & well priced toasties/ sandwiches.

  • 3/5 Jenny C. 1 year ago on Google
    Plenty of parking space even when it's busy on the weekend, but with birthday parties going on there, the playground can have quite a lot of kids. We only visited once but unfortunately didn't have a great experience with the kids here, felt a bit self entitled, less willing to take turns on equipment and some of the parents seem very permissive. There was a little boy who took and played with our ball while we were somewhere else, but refused to give it back and rudely blew a wet raspberry at my kids when we asked for it nicely. Very appalling behaviour even for a young child. On-site cafe is very convenient, there are toilets too though we didn't use them, so not sure how clean they are.
