    Such a great park with lots of open space for walks or sports! You will be able to see a nice view of the entire park and city view if you go to level 7 of the Baker’s building.

    Fawkner park is such a beautiful park for doing so many activities. It is so well maintained and is great for playing cricket, walking the dogs, running, playing soccer or even just sitting in the park and enjoying the sun. It is well equipped with public toilets, bins, benches, walking tracks. Love it! We need more parks like these in CBD .

    By far one of my favourite parks in Melbourne. And my dog loves it too. Plenty of grounds and bike tracks. You can have picnic and play some games there. Go for a morning run and evening stroll. Love it. Highly recommend this place. Dog park peak time around 5-5:30pm weekdays..

    Fawkner Park is lovely. I go here a lot to get my quarantine outside time. It's always nice seeing so many dogs playing, and the trees scattered around are great to sit under

    I went here for a walk almost everyday during the summer. Great park for jogging, cycling or walking ur dog. Ive seen a lot of people having picnic around the park as well. There are a lot of trees providing shades throughout the footpath area which mean you'll be fine if you don't want too much sunlight on your face.

    Beautiful and so close. Just behind St Kilda road, so close to the city, an enormous park. So much open space. So much green. A great spot for a walk, run, picnic, a bit of sport. So nice to see spots like this still in Melbourne.

    How could you say no to a park. The grass was exquisite although mud was doing it’s best to break through at any opportunity. There was a family reunion of dogs and an old man doing laps of the footy field who could only reliably straighten one of his legs. But it’s an unreal park be one you won’t regret popping a squat in.

    It's a very large park, a nice little church is also positioned at a corner. The park spans from St kilda road to Toorak road and I a great place for runners, dog walkers, and families. There are toilets, water taps, footy area, two play grounds, large trees and nice footpaths. There is a gentle steep from Toorak road to St kilda road when you walk that way in the park. The view is great, recommend for photography as well. You can see city buildings too.

    Big open spaces, lots of dogs, great for treating lockdown blues. Bit of construction work near the school which should improve the area once completed.

  • 5/5 Renee C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place to break up the hustle and bustle of the main road and city. Big grass areas, plenty of trees and great for both groups and individuals. I go for walks here, runs, and sometimes the occasional yoga and stretching session. Very conveniently placed.

    I recently had the pleasure of spending a day at Fawkner Park, and it was an absolute delight, especially for families with energetic kids. The vast expanse of this park makes it an ideal spot for little ones to burn off energy and explore to their heart's content. One of the standout features of Fawkner Park is its sheer size. The park's expansive grounds offer ample space for children to run, play, and engage in a variety of outdoor activities. Whether it's a game of tag, a leisurely walk, or simply lounging on the grass, there's enough room for everyone to enjoy without feeling crowded. My son, in particular, had a fantastic time. He spent two joyous hours running around, which was not only great for his physical activity but also for his overall happiness. Seeing him so engaged and content in the natural surroundings was a heartwarming sight. The time he spent with his grandfather, 'Pop,' in the park was special, creating memories that will surely be cherished. The park's kid-friendly environment makes it a top choice for families. The open spaces are safe for children to play, and the atmosphere is welcoming and lively. It's a perfect setting for a family outing, where parents can relax and watch their kids have fun in a secure and beautiful environment. In conclusion, Fawkner Park is a fantastic destination for families, especially those with young children. Its vastness, safety, and serene beauty make it a haven for both kids and adults. My experience here was thoroughly enjoyable, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a great outdoor space for their children to play and explore. It's definitely a place where family memories are made and cherished.

    A really spacious, big and an amazing park with beautiful sites. A good place to beat your stressful day after work to relax and get back your energy for your evening. ❤

    Large open spaces. Shade under trees around the edges, and don't park benches dotted around. Ńot a park with prolific rubbish bins or water fountains.

  • 5/5 Habib 10 months ago on Google
    I was immediately struck by the park's lush greenery and peaceful atmosphere. The expansive lawns provided ample space for relaxation and recreation. I enjoyed finding a shady spot under one of the trees and spending a leisurely afternoon reading a book or having a picnic with friends.

    Chill place to take a walk. Also having toilets.

  • 5/5 Dananjaya B. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful paradise in the mid of the busy Toorak and south Yarra area. Plenty of open spaces, paths to walk or run on. Kids play areas and dog off leash areas. Enjoying the time here always. Sad to have to move away soon.

    Clean, safe, a bit noisy from the adjucent helicopter landing strip (Albert Hospital), a good experience.

  • 5/5 Nicklas L. 3 years ago on Google
    Massive park for kicking a ball and taking dogs for a walk with off leash area but not fenced. These days you can get a covid test across the street too.

  • 5/5 Melissa Y. 4 years ago on Google
    My favourite dog-friendly park loved by locals, families and employees of nearby businesses. A safe and active park for all to enjoy in the heart of inner-city Melbourne! Loads of shade, seating areas and playgrounds.

    Good spacious park. Great place to get away a bit when visiting Alfred Hospital

  • 3/5 Sacha H. 3 years ago on Google
    Too many dogs off leads jumping on children and none of the dogs are in the off lead area. Melbourne City Council do not seem to enforce this with a fine.

  • 5/5 Jonathan B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great park with friendly people. Coming through you'll find a few sports teams and local clubs playing here. They have footy posts as well for those looking to practice. Dog friendly with water fountains all over the park. Great place to bring the kids, dog, go for a walk or a jog.

  • 4/5 Alisdair H. 6 years ago on Google
    It can be difficult to see on the maps where you can access the park. This goes through to Fawkner park, it has some sort of a drain or similar that it goes over, so there are steps and a ramp for increased access. No gates, always open.

    We went here yesterday and I can say that our experience was great! So peaceful and beautiful place to unwind. Definitely a place where you can bring your dog and play around without bothering anyone. It's also well-maintained.
