    The pump track is great and fun for primary school kids. Highly recommended if your kids love cycling.

    Very nice park! Was pleasantly surprised as it's tucked away within a residential area. Great play area for the kids including a small skating zone, nice seating and large oval to play sports!

    Beautiful playground with play equipment suitable for kids of all ages. Grandkids from 9 to 3 all found lots to do. Swings, great climbing frame with multiple entry point of increasing difficulty, several slides from small to large, wheelchair swing, flying fox, riding, scooter or skating circuit that lots of kids just ran around. Undercover picnic areas with adjacent barbecue and other picnic tables in the open. Also has nice walking trails for dog walking.

    Whether it's the disability accessible playground equipment, the large playground, the half pipes for the skaters, the dog park, the basketball court or the BBQs for a Sunday lunch, this park has everything you could ask for! With large open spaces to run around in, heaps of new playground equipment there is heaps for the whole family including doggos. New areas of the park are being constantly updated. Photos taken during lockdown (why it's empty because it's normally busy with families!).

    Awesome park! Huge slide plus a few smaller ones, great climbing nets and towers, heaps of swings, a junior bike and scooter track, water play, undercover tables, barbeques and lots of great to run around on. Oh and there are public toilets here too. Great for kids of all ages!

    It's a nicely new built and renovated play area for kids of all ages and abilities. Things to climb on, rope wall, slides, traditional swings, little trampoline, scooter and skateboard track. Zip line x2. A couple other activities that fail me at present. There is a bicycle pole that has permanently attached tools to make any on the run adjustments to your bike. Covered seating suited to bbq's. Toilets. Drink fountains. The area also has a skateboard ramp.nice to see a swing dedicated to people with disability. Gets quite busy and I noticed some older more confident kids dominate any given equipment so that's a blight on their parents either not supervising well enough or not teaching the child to share,and when it's busy it can be a bit intimidating for less confident and shy kids which really is sad to see. Parking fills quickly, especially on no school days or weekends. Overall it looked like the kids were having a great time. Given the available space Council could make it even better again

    Great park with a really cool scooter/small bike pump track loop thing. Good assortment of play equipment (climbing, flying fox etc) and large grassy patches. Probably could do with more undercover seating options in case multiple families wanted to secure spots for a party (which is what we were there for).

    Awesome place for children and family. 3 covered spots with BBQ facilities and toilets close by. If no covered area available bring your own chairs and sit under thecl trees...lots of shady area and lastly lots of parking spaces available.

    Excellent modern playground. One of the best I've seen. My 6 year old loved it, but it would suit older kids too. Has a scooter track, heaps of stuff to climb and flying foxes. Beautiful park setting too.

  • 4/5 Mahmut O. 6 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Very family friendly park with well thought out amenities to facilitate gatherings for families and friends. Children have plenty to do and explore, bins have been placed around in several locations, there are also public electric grills for cooking.

  • 5/5 Brian B. 5 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    The only sun friendly public playground I've visited so far. The trees just simply shades the play structure even during the middle of the summer day. All councils across Victoria must follow a similar tree planting to protect kids from sun damage. We live 25 minutes away but we keep coming back here.

    The upgrade is brilliant for the littlies.

  • 5/5 Janelle B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great playground for kids. Always popular with birthday parties. There is heaps of space, plenty of picnic tables but at peak times they can be hard to nab. Great range of play equipment for young and older kids. Plus a water play area. They also have a bike/scooter track which our kids love. Well worth the trip. The best park in this area.

  • 5/5 R C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 AMRITA SUMANLATA S. 3 years ago on Google
    My child loves this park

  • 5/5 Alli S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent BBQ facilities, public toilets and playground. Bocce courts and dog park. A lot of friendly faces and families enjoying time together in the park. Keep an eye out for two families of Tawny frogmouths who have lived in the park 4+ years and have recently had three chicks. (You can spot them just on sundown) Foxes, echidnas kookaburra and even the odd kangaroo at dawn Lovely place along the Darebin creek Follow the bike path (Darebin creek trail) all the way to Wurundjeri Spur Lookout (KEW) 20km away Fairfield boathouse or the city centre Or in the other direction: M80 trail and connect with Merri Creek trail or Moonee Ponds Creek Trail for loop rides Norris bank playground has disability friendly play equipment and a bike repair station

  • 5/5 Paul N. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this playground. Suitable for all ages and disabilities. Flying fox and bike track is a bonus. Plenty of car parking available. Toilets also available. Heaps of space to run around and keep social distancing. BBQ area and also some undercover seating.

  • 5/5 Lisa 1 year ago on Google
    Went to the fenced dog park here, it's very nicely set out and provides a fair bit of shade in summer. The fence is secure, there are a few bins accessible from the park and it's pretty clean. My dogs enjoyed the run around in the park.

  • 5/5 Rita L. 1 year ago on Google
    So much to do and play here for all ages. Big area with playground, water play, flying fox, walking track, and so many areas for kids to explore and use their imagination to play. There's even a dog park and lawn bowl area.

  • 5/5 Juliana D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to bring a small creature (child or dog) or wheeled thing (bike, scooter, skateboard, roller blades etc) in Whittlesea. The huge playground has plenty of variety and challenges and the dog park is always full of happy hairy beasts (located well away from the playground). I especially like the wheelchair friendly swing. The scooter loop is also a great learning tool for children navigating small inclines and declines on foot, scooter or bike and for navigating other children. Plenty of facilities including toilets and barbecues. I use this park for teaching physio and social skills, as there are plenty of opportunities to learn here.

  • 5/5 Mohammed M. 1 year ago on Google

    Needs shaded area for playground. Needs a toilet for young children.

  • 5/5 Jo P. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place for kids of all ages. The play equipment is modern and well maintained. Everything is in close proximity, which makes it easy to manage kids of different ages and abilities in the same space. The oval is fab for kicking a ball or throwing a Frisbee. The BBQ area are also clean and in good working order. I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sarah P. 3 years ago on Google
