It's a nice park with a playground area for kids and a separate area with exercise equipment for adults. There's a wooden boardwalk that runs through the park to protect the natural vegetation. Unfortunately there is very limited shaded areas in the park which can be a serious issue for young children on hot summer days. A number of shade sails should be installed. There is also limited seating. There is quite a large car park on the northern edge of the park however it's almost always full with cars even when there is virtually no one in the park!

Great maritime themed park, although no public toilets here (just a short walk away)

Lots of different activities for young kids to play. They love it. And it's close to a little beach though the sand and water is not good. Definitely come often.

This playground in Port Melbourne is (literally) a hidden gem. Reminiscent of an abandoned shipyard, the playground is an easy 20 minutes walk from the tram station and Station Pier. Best time to visit is late afternoon for the stunning sunset.

Beautiful Beach Free parking Dog friendly There is a really nice lookout close by. Highly recommend walking along the side towards the city.

Came down here just to launch my kayak off the beach..this park is huge and well maintained.

Nice big playground with a beach nearby there are some water features and a lot of climbing installations. And there is a nice cafe nearby. From the playground you could see port and ships. The only down side that the nearest toilet is ~300 m from the playground. This place is quite busy if the day is sunny and warm. It is not easy to find parking here on summer days after 10am. Even if there is a big parking lot nearby, it is getting full really quick.

Something different for the kids, an all sand playground with many different types of fastened scoops and pulleys for sand pour and transport play. Most of the sand is of the larger rough variety. Large slide and other climb play available. Decent shading in the afternoon of spring, with decent wind blocking. Water play available too but some pumps required some strength i.e. adult help required. Beach is right next to it, but it was very windy and quite littered when visited. Toilets available short walk away. Free parking available.

It’s kind of nice... more so for kids. Quirky array of maritime themed play equipment, and tight neat the port...

Really great area. Free parking and facilities close by. Stayed the night prior to sailing to Tasmania. 3 hour parking limit 11pm till 5am I just set the alarm and moved forward and back to sleep

Great public place.

Great new playground with something for kids of all ages. The small toddler areas is fantastic and there are climbing things/a ropes course for older kids. There is a water play areas & water spurts out from various places. No shade so it'll very hot in summer. Toilets can be found a short walk away.

Between open inspection, we decided to take a break and enjoy talking with the local community. What a wonderful place. E L I T E ;-)

Great beach, great playground fir the kids, and and an awesome walk along the forshore

Excellent community resource. Puppy friendly and a great view of the city.

My sons favourite park. Our family's go too park because the beach is right there too. Great environment for families and kids. Great coffee next to the park and plenty of bathrooms 2 minutes walk from the playground.

This is a great playground. The kids love taking their shoes off and running around on the sand under the equipment. The beach just next to the park is nice and shallow and calm, great for the kids to paddle.

Nice little playground. An ideal place for the family on warm days. The kids love it, also the bushes + the trail and the beach near by. Public toilets accessibility could be the most concerning cons. Need to walk 400m to the public toilets. Be prepared if you have a toilet training child with you.

Beautiful park and play area for the kids. My Boys 4 and 5 years old love it. Tucked away… water play on hot weather… or on cold weather… depending how well your kids listen to you. Mine not so much

Always a great place to relax and sometimes hang out at, especially at the end of a hot day!☀️🌡📉

This is one of the better playground near the city with a great view of the city and the play area was big enough to cater for many kids. You can also go for a scenic walk or take out your fishing rod for a spin.

Fun for kids

Might have been higher if the weather was better the kids had a great time but the rain made it a shorter stay then we would have liked

Great views. Kid friendly and parking nearby easy to get to.

One of the best play grounds for children! Well layer out and thought through playground to keep the children occupied for hours. It would be a greatly welcomed addition to see a toilet block nearer to the playground built in the not too distant future, other than that amazing facility

Great playground, outdoor gym, walking paths, beach, cafe, water play features.

Very nice place for kids. Parking available and good spot. I would like a bbq for some tasty burguer

Serene spot to enjoy the lapping waves and Melbourne winter sun

Great park for 12 and 8 year old. Also raked to observation deck, very interesting there. Great afternoon!

During Lockdown, a nicevquiet place.

MSIC CARD NEEDED TO ENTRE HERE

Brilliant playground, close to the beach and toilets close by

So much fun.

Sandy, a little windy, heaps of fun!!

Great place.

Quite and clean

Interesting very good

Super cool playground right at the waterfront

Very nice

great place for a swim after work then an indoor shower afterwards

Best park

Well designed park, great views especially Sandridge Lookout.

nice little park

It is a good park for kids across the ages. The water feature is always a hit. Unfortunately, shade is a problem. Hot days, absolute struggle to stand under the sun watching your child. So make sure you have sunscreen and a hat. Parking an be really difficult during the busy times.

Awesome children's play area

Lots of things to keep the kids busy and right next to the beach if it get to hot.

Great kids playground by the beach.

Great park. A bit annoying to try find parking when workers use the parking. Kids had lots of fun. Could use more equipment for kids instead of sand. Like the flying fox for humans not sand

Very nice place for a walk and very nice view of the city

Nice place kids love it.

Nice views

Very beautiful place

A great place the come and play!

Outdoor gym equipment as well as a really nice playground

Great playground

Nice

Playground is fantastic for kids of all ages. Only problems no pinic tables or seats , and toilet facilities too far away, and in appalling state

Lovely playground next to Port Melbourne, recycled equipment full of fun for kids, hand water pumps, wood tower/slide, lovely sand, great outlook to beach and skyline with seagulls around!

Hidden gem. Tried out all the play equipment and it was good. Only thing missing is shade on a sunny day

Good place to visit for family as you get to go to the beach, play area for the kids, outdoor gym, walk along the beach. Can't recommend it enough.

Great park for the kids right next to the ocean with a focus on sand and water play

Our Daughter loves this park, parking can be an issue as the park itself does not get too busy but it's also a great fishing spot

Great playground for young kids. Busy on weekends

It's a nice park next to the beach. Kids love it

Some interesting and challenging experiences for kids at the playground for both young and older kids, including water play. However, lacking shade so be sure to put on sunscreen.

Awesome playground and surprisingly good beach. This must be in the hidden gem category!

Great spot , free parking

Lots of maritime themed structures for kids to play on, the whole thing built in a coarse sand pit with sand tubes, sand hoists, channels and fixed kids diggers all over the place. Water play, a hand operated pump etc also in some areas. Climbing, Bouldering on a sea buoy! Lots of fun. Also has public gym/exercise machines all in very good condition. There are some shade shelters. Close to the beach and has free parking but be advised the free parking area appears to be often full - I suspect it's taken advantage of by those who leave their car there all day and go elsewhere - the park was empty except for us - we had to park in a small bay next to the surf life saving club with a half hour limit. Nearby roads are also residents only, so be prepared.

Nice playground on the beach

Right next to the beach and plenty of shade. Also plenty parking right next to it.

Could be great but so dirty and rats on the park

Nice place with a good view, i usually go there at night. It's pretty calm.

Always a place to create memories. Great place to spend the afternoon, for kids as adults alike.

Park

Had everything

You sense the feeling of an old Park but very well maintained for its age. All of the things are made out of wood and it’s on the beach so sand everywhere. Kids loved this place.

Beautiful park. The only letdown is the lack of tables around the playground for the adults and the lack of shade during the hotter days

Nice place very clean

(Translated by Google) Nice (Original) ممتاذ

One of the best playgrounds around melbourne. Heaps to do for kids of every age and then you can take a walk to the tower at the end to watch ferries go by

Awesome spot for family's

Great place for kids above the age of 4 I would say. For my 2yo some of the equipment can be a bit hazardous. Awesome place none the less, right next to the beach great views and plenty of space

A must visit park for all, playground, fitness area, and meters from beach and ports.

Lots of work done here, even if I only walked past, its really well done!!!

Excellent park. Everyone chilling out and friendly. Also everyone social distancing.

Fun for the kids.

So Natural and perfect place for kids

Van take dogs off leash

Excellent playground, lots of fun for children young and older

Big play area with lots to do, beach stone throw away, exercise area, toilets short walk, water play fun for summer, lots car parking, cafe, beautiful walk around the water can see the big ships coming in

Great park for children

Just like it

Such beautiful location, but could be cleaner. So many discarded tissues bottles cans chips packages etc

What a beautiful spot to view Melbourne skyline and also the container port in action. If you keep walking right at the end you can see large container ships getting loaded/unloaded and also Williamstown with small fishing boats anchored.

It's a good and big park. Lot of games to play for kids lot of games to develop learning skills. But I didn't like the sand over there. I think it's kind of crush rock on which hard to walk.

Great fun to walk your dog winter seasons during summer becomes limited free parking with toilet block available

One of the best parks I've seen. It's right next to the beach. Good for kids birthday party's

All time favourite place, wonderful view of St. Kilda, Spirit of Tasmania, beach, sun rise, sunset, rocks bridge etc.. quite and relaxing place...

An exciting place for the kids with a busy port and shipping nearby with a dog friendly beach

A park with a fun design that makes use of the beach! The restrooms are a little far away.

Good playground. Good for 4yo+ but get advanced to 10+ stuff Not great for under 2yo Sandy ground is novel but it is more like small rocks, bark is way better.

Surf was up, but blowing a gale. Not a bad place to come for sun and sand, but not too much there. It could quickly get overcrowded on a weekend.

Awesome park, too many rats and mice! Literally running past the kids, need pest management. I don't won't to even think of the tiger snakes lurking around. Besides that the park is well designed.

Fun park, kids enjoy the slide and waterplay. Nice walk nearby to a lookout that overlooks the bay across to Williamstown, and easy beach/sand access. Just be aware that while bathroom facilities are nearby, they are still a bit of a walk away from the park itself.

A small, little kids play park, tucked away in a corner. Not a bad place to visit with kids under 7 years. There is plenty of parking available but, can get filledup especially, if there is a party happening in the near by Function Hall.

Hidden gem of a place... Nice playground to keep kids busy and cool waves with views to port

Great place for city, sunset, sunrise photos. The is a good variety of birdlife and a super playground for the kids. Parking close by on Todd Rd as there is limited parking in the reserve area.

Really cool nature based playground! Actually has a variety of play elements for babies, my 1 year old had a great time and especially loved using the climbing structure.

A well maintained and clean park very close to the beach. Beautiful area. Peaceful and not crowded.
