Best places: Community centers in Melbourne, Australia

Abstract buildings flank this block-size plaza, filled with restaurants, museums and arts venues.

👍👍 I started at Arise two months ago, after having a baby in April in a fairly inactive pregnancy. It’s been so lovely coming to a light-filled, airy space and getting into classes here. There isn’t a single average instructor, they’re all excellent both in manner and knowledge and explaining movement...

👍👍 It's a great venue. They have a rigorous process to apply to get a venue hire but once you're get through it's a lovely place. The rooms are open and big and spacious. The parking has a LOT of car spots. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The tables and chairs were easy to put together and...

😠 I live across the street from this centre and I am sick to death of the extremely loud, repetitive, poorly executed, drumming that goes on and on and on and on for hours and hours and hours on end. I cannot turn up my tv, music, headphones, anything, to block this insidious noise pollution out of my...

🫤 This sports centre has a lovely community feel and is never overcrowded or dirty. Love the yoga teacher here too; Lee, is particularly passionate and encouraging. My particular disappointment relates to the reception staff, which can be quite hit-and-miss in their welcoming. Recently, when I forgot...

👍👍 A good public space with kids playground with flying fox, monkey bars, slides, swings and seesaw. There is BBQ Pit too.

Which preclude self-sufficient? Payroll with physical disabilit also has been installed. With a inductive. Cocktail, whic...

👍👍 Good house for parties with all facilities and big park.Need to book in advance.

👍👍 Hire this place! I"m thinking of hiring it every weekend for some extra room for the family. Used this to host my kids 5th birthday and it had way more amenities than are listed on the website; it was so perfect for us and made the day easy.

👍👍 Friendly community centre. We come here occasionally to see the Maternal Child Health nurses and my kids always feel at ease. The waiting room has toys for the kids.

👍👍 Beautiful old building facade. This old house was used in the Aussie soap “Sons and Daughters” as the O’Brien’s house which caught fire!

👍👍 Beautiful historic building that is still hosting its original occupant, the Royal Society of Victoria, and still a focus for the advancement of science in the State

👍👍 I've lived in the Carlton area since 2018 and I've been a member since that time. The gym and pool are good and the staff simply excellent. My trainer Emily is fantastic and has helped me on my weight loss journey (I lost 22 kgs in 3 years). They've been supportive through the lockdowns as well and...

👍👍 I was a student who completed one of their variety of courses and activities to choose from. Volunteers/trainees benefit from friendly and welcoming staff by reception and the teachers. This centre is diverse, engaging and accepting towards all cultural backgrounds and disabilities. It's a great pla...
