The 19 best free attractions in Hobsons Bay

Super friendly space 😺 Small park , small theatre 🎭 Lots of coffee options 😀 Amazing views in night Paid parking

An amazing old park with a lot of history. Right on the bay of Williamstown amongst the boats and ships and yachts, it’s a must visit when in “Willy”. Spacious, green and lots of shades from the large trees. Thankfully someone had the foresight to think ahead because they are truly unique. Don’t forget to check out all The historical sites within the park and read about the history and settlement of the area. I wonder how it looked before it was settled? I’ve seen many weddings, parties and celebrations held in the park. There are bins and seats but suggest you take home your rubbish and byo chair. When wet, it can get a bit soggy underfoot but don’t let that deter you. Toilets available. Playground available take. Parking can be tricky so suggest you read the signs carefully. Dog friendly.

Really pleasant reserve on a good day. Boats in the background, trees grass and walking space to stroll and some great food options around it. Beautiful view of Melbourne from over the bay on a clean clear day.

Beautiful gardens for a walk, picnic or just plain photography. Lots of greenery, with water views and a permanent ship museum for your backdrop. There's an abundance of restaurants on the road stretch to sit and enjoy these views. Very relaxed, gone for a holiday kind of feel here. The heritage buildings on the roadsides also make for an interesting exploration. Most parking meters now can be paid using the EASYPARK app - pay only for how much you use, much better than prepaid!

Great place for families, kids, and group BBQs, especially during sunny beautiful days like today. The breeze coming from the water, the beautiful sunshine, the relaxed and happy atmosphere is just perfect. The kids also have a lot of fun on the playground, watching the ships from the pier, and there's enough grass to play soccer/footy while parents and grandparents picnic. There are tennis courts if you wanna have a game and heaps of great restaurants to choose from the main strip also. Just an overall family-friendly environment - would definitely recommend for a lazy weekend.

Nice place to take motorbike on sunny day. Stop at "off the pier " for some fish and chips. Great people very friendly, and polite

Fantastic park in the middle of Williamstown CBD situated right against the water and Gem Pier. Great way to spend that day walking around and looking at the historical sight and also the retail shops nearby. Council had done a good job of keeping park clean and tidy, allowing picnics or taking in the sun. Public toilets and children's playground.

Lovely park in the middle of a busy city. Its not very big but it feels you are in the middle of the bush. Nice for a walk. Cannot take dogs. Playground nearby. Toilets are unisex and lots of male workers in the area utilise them, so I chose not to use them..

A beautiful little nature spot in the heart of suburbia. The bird life here is plentiful and the views of the lake are glorious. Perfect for a family stroll or a dog walk

Lovely place to visit to just kick back and relax. Very calming and learning to be surrounded by nature.

Beautiful to visit & get into nature. Makes you feel like you’ve escaped the city without actually having done so. Car park onsite. To the left of the car park are restrooms & if you take a walk further up there’s a playground & you can walk your dogs on lead. To the right of the car park - the actual Newport Lake reserve, you cannot bring your dogs in for a walk. It is prohibited. There’s a great stepping stone path that crosses over the water. It is safe. My octogenarian mother with a walking stick was able to do it. There’s flat grass areas where groups have picnics.

Unreservedly five stars. There is a public toilet, BBQ area, playground, a reasonable amount of parking, an off leash area in Pavey Park next door (no dogs on the trails around the water I'm afraid) and some lovely walking trails around the lake. If you are walking around, take care if crossing the lake on the rock-bridge but I saw people (including me) crossing it just fine. If walking, do both the circuit closer to the lake and the one higher up. Some nice views. And watch out for the rock-art.

Still one of my favourite nature places in the inner west of Melbourne! It's great for walking, for kids to interact and see local birds, fish and animals. Apart from the planes overhead, you get a very distinct separation from city life! You can really lose yourself here... Great in every season!

Beautiful place to be. Wonderful atmosphere and wildlife. Would recommend for a serene and calm environment for walks. Bikes not allowed so would not recommend riding here. Stone bridge is incredibly calming and enjoyable. Beautiful mosaics found all over the shop which as an art enjoyer were incredible to see.

A very beautiful and large area of wetlands. There are many swans, seagulls and birds. There aquatic creatures are cute, too. Don’t feed them, otherwise the water will be polluted. Clean and clear water is the valuable resource. Be careful of the snakes. They are more afraid of you. A good beach for swimming, walking the dogs, jogging, sun tanning and snorkeling.

I’m living in the West for more than 25 years but why I didn’t know this place until today!! It’s perfect place for all age, family and for all purpose include walking, bike riding, birds watching, snorkelling, swimming, picnic and more. This place is well maintained but unfortunately Some people cut the wire fence and try to get into the protective area where we should respect the wildlife habitats area. It’s very sad to see some damage by careless people.

It’s super Van Friendly, with my partner we spend the night here with no issue, It was on low season tho, so no idea if during summer is the same. There is a parking fee during the day. Nature wise was lovely!!

It's a lovely place to go for a stroll and enjoy the views of the wetlands. There's a bay trail for cyclists and walkers and multiple benches around. There's also a playground for the kids and lots of native plantings. It's certainly worth a visit!

Very lovely open space at the edge of Williamstown, with untouched coastal vegetation and lots of birdwatching opportunities.

What a great place for the local residents who can come out with families for daily walk, relax, have sea breeze, watch Swans and other wildlife.

Beautiful.spot for a short walk. We snorkelled here and saw alot of wildlife. High tide with gentle swells recommended. Very safe to snorkel, with cute little fiddler and sting rays that are very approachable.

A truly lovely place to walk. Dogs seem to be off leash here. Views are wonderful and sea air very refreshing. A hidden gem.

Great place to come for an evening walk and watch the sunset.

Absolutely beautiful view of the bay and an amazing spot to watch the sunset. The beach has a great fish and chip ship close to the reserve. There are also shops just down the road where you can grab a bite to eat or some gelato. A great way to spend a warm summer's evening!

Coastal park with great views to the city and of the bay. dogs off leads. Now with a parkrun at 8am. Can be windy

Its great to sit by the rocks here and admire the beauty of the coast. You can see either coasts of the back waters from this point. Best before sunset.

A nice spot for a picnic. Large grassed area and trees for shade. There's also a Botanic Garden across the road.

Perfect place but for full life enjoyment there should be some cafe or restaurant...

There are paid and free parking spaces along the street. You can swim and fish if you like just pick a good spot. The beach is easily accessible. If you prefer walking or running, the path is approximately 2 km but you can go all the way down towards Newport if you like. Just bring a bottled water just in case...

Beautiful for jogging, walking, playing with your dog, just relaxing on the grass or looking out to sea on the rocks. Great walking track, visit frequently. There's a nice section along the walking track to see black swans and sea birds.

Great space for a stroll, picnic, and some quiet time, as it is less busier than the surrounding areas.

Vast open space with a nearby trail overlooking the rockpool, great place to go exploring and not as busy as the other nearby reserves.

Nice reserve while transiting towards wetlands.

Great spot to walk your dog

Nice open space, with a beautiful sunset view.

This nice park has plenty of parking spaces, picnic tables and bbq. The scenery is spectacular, especially on the top of the hill. You can see a glimpse of city buildings and wetlands. Not many trees around so it will be quite hot during summer days. Some area looks new, plenty of new baby trees. It would be nice if there’s a sign along the walking path.

Beautiful view across the water, u can see the city building from the view at the top of the 100 steps. Good place for some fitness or just a walk in the fresh air.

Truganina Park is a wonderful spot that offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The park is well-maintained and features plenty of open space, making it a nice park for leisurely walks, picnics, or simply relaxing. One of the standout features of Truganina Park is the fantastic views of the skyline. Whether you're looking for a beautiful backdrop for photos or just want to enjoy the scenery, the views are truly impressive. The park is especially great for sunrise and sunset. The sky lights up with stunning colors, providing a perfect setting for those early morning or late evening moments. The overall atmosphere of the park is very calming and serene. It's a peaceful place where you can unwind and enjoy nature. The well-paved paths and various lookout points add to the experience, making it easy to explore and appreciate the surroundings. In summary, Truganina Park is a lovely place to visit. With its nice views, peaceful ambiance, and beautiful sunrise and sunset scenes, it's a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy some quality time outdoors. Highly recommended for a relaxing day out.

So many attractions in this park, the 100 steps of federation, 360 area view, CBD view are the main attractions. From this park you can also go to Foreshore trail, laverton creek and skeleton creek. Great place for fitness lovers for hiking and running, and trail walks. The gate opens at 8 am and closes at 7 pm.

An interesting park with an off leash dog area. Huge open space with some interest ornaments and sculptures in the park. Pleasant views of the city skyline in the distance and there's plenty of nature and wildlife around the park. The wetlands area can be seen from the hill too. Definitely worth taking the dogs here for a walk.

There are a number of parks in this area but I’m talking today about Truganina Park. As you enter there is a netball / basketball park , heaps and heaps of parking, entrance to Cheetham Park, the skate park and more. Great views to the bay if you walk up the small mound. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Great for riding bikes or walking. Good place for picnics with the tables and shelter with toilets nearby but it can be windy. It can be a little confusing with parks blending with other reserves and facilities so be careful. Watch out for snakes in summer months.

Had a beautiful experience visiting this place. We can have a 360 degree view around the area. Perfect place to enjoy the sunset.

Nice park, good lacrosse club with gardens, playgrounds, cafes and of course the beach. Parking is not to bad however thou may have to pay. There are nearby public toilets and showers.

Good little sports fields, right across from the beach

Big green area to enjoy when not being used on sports days. It's in really well kept condition. Close to beach, other parks and shared pathways.

Nice little park . Nothing special but pleasant place across the road from a great selection of shops and close to the railway station.

Sunshine, Slow, relaxing, sitting down on the grass and watching a cricket game without a care in the world..does it get any better

Went to watch my boyfriend play lacrosse! Was wonderful but very cold at night haha

Sports ground is fenced off do have good club rooms with tennis courts

Thank you, Tumbles, for an excellent 3rd birthday celebration for our son! It was his very first party with friends, and it was an absolute hit! The Paw Patrol-themed party package made everything extra special, and the balloons looked fantastic on the table. Our party host and all the staff were incredibly professional, accommodating, and well-organised from start to finish. We truly appreciate the effort that went into making this day so memorable.

We had our son’s 5th birthday party at Tumbles Playhouse. All children and families who attended our party had a great time. Tumbles Playhouse is super clean and the staff are fantastic. I’d probably suggest having the food out on platters for children/ parents to serve themselves, as some of the children liked something more than the other. Also cleaning up the tables before cake, children probably won’t come back for food over eating cake. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely consider future parties at Tumbles Playhouse.

We love Tumbles. We’ve been a few times over the last past two years. Great play-centre, nice layout, always clean, not super chaotic like some play-centres, and friendly staff. Good food for a play-centre (love the bread and dips). We had a party with Tumbles today for our son’s 4th. Great experience, would highly recommend. Fantastic staff and reasonably priced. Thanks Tumbles.

I hosted my daughter's first birthday at Tumbles on a Saturday night privately. It was the perfect venue for a winter birthday as the weather wasn't a factor. The play centre was fully cleaned before my guests arrived. Chad was so easy to deal with from the beginning of the booking process to greeting us on the night on the party. He was very accomodating with changing times/etc. I would definitely recommend booking your party at Tumbles.

I took my 2 children 6 and 9 today. They haven't stopped talking about it. Absolutely loved their time there. It is very modern looking, clean and set out perfectly. My daughters favourite was the astro slide and my son loved playing on the bouncy castle. Spent most of the day there and they never were bored at any stage. Very reasonably priced, friendly, efficient staff and food we enjoyed immensely. Thanks for a memorable day guys

We recently celebrated our daughter’s 5th birthday at Tumbles Playhouse, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From start to finish, the team was incredibly helpful, friendly, and well-organised, making the entire process stress-free for us. The venue itself is clean, safe, and has plenty of fun activities and play areas to keep the kids entertained for hours. The party decor and setup were beautifully done, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious. We all had an amazing time. I would highly recommend Tumbles Playhouse to anyone looking for a fun and hassle-free party venue for their little ones.

We celebrated our daughter's 5th birthday here. It is very clean, well organised, less crowded and our experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was delicious.Specially the paninis and turkish platter. On the tab coffee or drinks and how efficiently it was served to each guest speak volumes of your hospitality.The hosts were so lovely and helped throughout! I applaud the whole team for making our celebration super smooth! We had a theme package and the balloons were high quality and oh so pretty! My daughter had a great time and all kids and adults enjoyed the party. It's a hidden gem! Definitely will celebrate here again! The best thing is it did not feel crowded at all even on a Saturday with three party rooms celebrating at the same time. Love this place!

We had such a wonderful experience at Clip ‘n Climb Williamstown. My 4-year-old was very nervous at first and kept saying how scared she was, but the staff were so kind and encouraging. It was amazing to see her build up so much confidence and give it a go. By the end she was climbing with the biggest smile on her face. Such a fantastic place for kids to challenge themselves in a safe and supportive environment. We will definitely be back!

Staff was lovely and checking it was super easy, I did book online to make the check in quicker. There was a party on when I went but otherwise it wasn't too busy. The climbing was really fun and the pre climbing guide was great. There are plenty of different climbing walls. The place is really clean and definitely worth a try if looking to do something a bit different. There are party rooms to have lunch, so keep that in mind if wanting to organise a party. Prices are reasonable and justifiable for the amount of time given.

Four stars for variety of climb equipment Five stars for the safety instructions prior to climb. ZERO star however for customer service, toilet cleanliness & food availability at the centre. The young boy that works there was quite rude. Get him some training please.

Awesome climbing spot for kids! Friendly staff, safe walls, and so much fun. My kid didn’t want to leave. Clean and welcoming. Highly recommend! 👍🧗♀️

Brought my 4-year-old along to Clip ‘n Climb Williamstown and it was an awesome experience. She was pretty nervous to start with, but the staff were really supportive and helped her feel comfortable. Watching her overcome her fear and climb higher each time was such a proud parent moment. The set up is safe, fun and perfect for building kids’ confidence. Highly recommend for families

My 5 year old daughter has been twice in the past week! She loves it. The staff are wonderful and friendly. A lot of fun and highly recommend. The only thing is the online booking doesn’t seem to work very well. Payment doesn’t seem to go through when using a phone.

Excellent staff made me and my kids have a wonderful time. Got the whole group included really well even though it was fully packed out. Incredible!!!!

Very appealing! There are many streams, ponds and a long coastal line. Too bad the water level of some streams and ponds are low because it hasn’t rained for days. Very relaxing but the sunshine is strong and there are many flies and insects. The winds are cool and balances the sun burning today. Some insects get to my eyes, ears, arms and noses. So, apply insect repellent, sunscreen, wear sunglasses and a cap. There are many birds. Some are big and some birds families live here. The fish swim in the sea. Few of them go into the shallow water. You can go fishing, jogging, cycling and hiking here. Not very good for sunbathing or picnicking lunch because of the flies.

Nice park close to Altona township but remote enough to feel you’re away from everything. Plenty of wide open spaces and much of the area is used by cyclists, walkers, joggers and dog owners as it’s good for off leash. Shared paths so watch out for each other. Note that in warmer weather there are sometimes snakes around but rare to come across one. The flora and fauna is good. Lots of birds here so if you’re a twitcher you’ll enjoy this place. City views. Relatively flat, ideal for wheelchair access. Kid friendly with a playground nearby. Toilets also near the yacht club.

Needs a little maintenance on some of the gates, or rather the springs to keep them closed, but terrific sizes paddocks and lots of space to run your dogs

Great open areas, suited to experienced drone pilots. Nice beaches for dog walking, clean cycle path and nicely maintained walking trails. This park has an abundance of wildlife, especially birds. A great family place, nice views. Whilst the park is very open, it would likely get windy in poor weather, and there is little protection from the wind here.

A terrific place to walk around with a camera and photograph birds. I have spent many years driving past it without even realising that it was there.

A great bike ride on a nice day and we met a friend. Good old P11 the friendly black swan :) The views are beautiful and its a great ride from Altona to Williamstown.

One of the best walks you can find in Melbourne, altona is such a beautiful place

It’s a perfect place for kids and family whether it’s the playground or a get together barbecue

Great playground space for children of all ages. Plenty of swings too! Separated picnic seating and tables that are undercover. Reserve area adjacent for field games. Ample parking away from playground and accessible toilets and bins.

Nice park with toilet. Water feature as well as 2 flying fox. One with a seat which my toddler loved. It has a water play feature which was freat on this very hot day. Great seating and BBQ area. Plenty of carpark too.

A draft master plan has been released for Bruce Comben Reserve in Altona Meadows, to plan for a new $40 million Western Aquatic Centre and uses by sporting clubs and the community. The centre would include an eight-lane, 25-metre pool and smaller pools, wellness centre, gym, cafe and new childcare centre. .

Very nice huge park with various sports arena. Couple of kids playground. River flowing aside and the bridge across as a plus point.

Presented well. Clean and open. Flies are extreme on the flip side.

Beautiful walk. Love the nature here. Good exercise too.

It’s amazing place for kids and even awesome place for picnic as public BBQ is available. Clean seperate toilets for both genders. Water taps available in many places. Multi sport place. Truly deserves a visit. Very close to Laverton railway station.

People are dying of hunger and water but here we are….. wasting water like fountains. Someone broke this and this water tap is keep running from last 3 hours.I tried to contact on number or live chat but no one is available on f some thing happened here that means no one here to help.anyway i have fixed this it by self. Think about about the people who dont have this water blessing.

A great park for all ages!

Great park with small bike track, exercise stations, water play and plenty if space for kids to go exploring. A major positive is the public toilets on site. Even has a table tennis table for those that want to bring their paddles and ball from home. Lots if fun

This park is fantastic for kids of all ages plus a BBQ area and outdoor gym for the adults. The park is beautifully landscaped as well. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into the planning.

Absolutely love this multigenerational, landscaped, beautifully planted, thoughtfully designed park. Great for walking my dog!!!

What a great park plenty to entertain my grandson , he really loved the sand pit and playing with the water. Plenty of room to kick his football. Very happy young man went home.

Excellent 👌 views Parks for child 🚸 Plenty of parking 🅿️ Restroom 🚽 🚻 Available Green parks 🏞️ Trai

Let lines intersect. Powerful spot to sit and watch crabs at low tide and bird life. Peaceful.

Apart from the refinery blocking much of the view to the east, this is a nice place which should always be protected. I like the peaceful (but narrow and rocky) beach next to Battery Road, including the lava blister, and the playground at Fort Gellibrand is great for kids.

Good walk around the point with a neat view across to the city. My kids love clambering over the rocks and searching for their favourite shells. Good playground here which is much quieter than the one around the corner at Commonwealth Park

This heritage park marks an important period during Victoria's history and most of the sites are well maintained and the signage gives you a sound idea as to why it's very important, worth a visit.

A nice place to watch the ships go by to/from Port Phillip Bay. A small amount of parking with a water view. Toilets are situated at the end of the park (if you enter from the esplanade.

Beautiful area so close to the city centre. This area allows you to take 5min for yourself and forget about the crazy stress of life. Plenty of people fishing and a nice walking and bike track to head towards altona. Easy access to rock pools for exploring and hunting for crabs with young kids. Bring aqua or closed in shoes as muscle shells and braincells can be sharp specially on young feet

Amazing views & Greenery, Different short tracks that pretty much link up together, good signage & a spacious area to explore. Couldn’t find a toilet but I’m sure there is some close by as it’s behind the sports stadium & fields. 👌 dog friendly

One of the best days of my recent Melbourne trip was taking the train to Altona, a pleasant suburb, and then a bus to go walking in this area. The 100 steps are short and easy to climb and the view is wonderful, but for my son and I, the big attraction was all the bird life even though we didn't manage to spot any orange-bellied parrots, which are evidently rare. You can also walk along the Hobsons Bay coastal trail from Altona. Having done both in one day, I estimated that we spotted at least 25 different bird species.

The 100 Steps of Federation is a beautiful spot with amazing views once you reach the top. It’s a short, easy walk that’s great for all fitness levels, and the lookout offers a fantastic view across the bay, city skyline, and surrounding landscape. The area is clean, well maintained, and has plenty of open space to enjoy a walk, take photos, or just relax. There’s also a bit of history behind the monument, which adds to its charm. It’s especially nice at sunset when the light over the water is stunning. A great place to visit for some fresh air and great views!

Nice relaxing place to go for short or long walk 👍🏼 Just walk on the left of the path as there’s a lot of cyclists flying past. Most do ring the bell 🛎️

Amazing views! Suitable for hiking and family activities! (PS: Did the capsule open in the Australian Day 2025?)

It's excellent view in Melbourne west suburbs.and it's free:)

Good place for a chill walk. Some parts have little to no shade so I recommend bringing a hat. Lots of paths along the trail which can take you to the beach or other lakes in the area. View from the top would be gorgeous at sunset. We parked at the sports centre and walked to the 100 Steps of Federation.

Large off leash dog beach. Plenty of car parking spaces. 2 tables and benches for picnics. Ample grass area for dogs to run around. Free dog tidy bags available, but sometimes runs out. Needs some taps with dog bowls for drinking and washing sand off feet. No undercover areas to protect from rain or sun. Distant views of the city. 3-5 mins walk from car to water.

The level of stupidity of this park is beyond crazy. They used chicken wire fencing to protect some plants right on the middle of an off-leash dog park. Dogs run. They don’t care about nice plants. Dogs keep running in to the fence as it’s really thin. I already sent a complaint to the council last time my dog gut hurt:

We don't usually go to the beach area during busy times but we do enjoy our little quiet corner. We have been coming here for 9yrs and the update to the park contrary to many others is really good.

Beautiful reserve, with a view and walking trail

The actual reserve is mostly fenced off at the moment for renovation works...hopefully later it will be great!

If you're a fan of dogs this is your place, lots of open space and shallow areas to play around in.

We bring our dog here every weekend and it's awesome! MASSIVE flat land with pools of water here and there and a nice walk to the actual ocean if you and your pup are so inclined. There is always a lot of other dogs here but everyone is friendly and mostly keeps to themselves. Would recommend for sure. There are bins and taps and doggy bags at the entrance to the beach too.

I remember when the bridge came down and after all these years never knew there was a memorial. Despite lots of cones around it and not being very welcoming I decided to explore anyway. I took a moment to remember what it must have been like but frankly I cannot comprehend what it must have been for those men and women who were involved in this tragedy. There is a nice park nearby to explore as well. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Small parking area.

It was good but there was construction going on, but that alright

A reminder for those who think everything gets done incident free. A tragic loss of lives so we may move freely.

Totally broke my heart the park is a disgrace ,dug up in areas fenced off can only just make out the large monument on the pillar. No mention on the website about the road works. Please update the website so others are aware of it.

Simple moving memorial to those who died constructing the west gate bridge.

A little known memorial to the lives lost in the bridge tragedy of 1970. It's an amazing spot to stand beneath the enormous towering pillar and imagine the horror of seeing such an immovable object come tumbling down.

Bit of a secret spot that has a good car park ( has handicap space). Fitting tribute to the lives lost while building this little bridge.

Pretty nice park with BBQ and playground for kids right next to the beach! And it’s a good place for taking some nice photos too!

I love going to this park to hang out with my friends after school. Really close to restaurants and transportation. Very good playground. Only reason it's 4 stars is because when it's windy on the bay the park can get cold

A fun and nice playground right next to the beach side. This place has a playground, picnic benches and a grass area. This is what you'd want a park to be.

This park is a nice location on west Melbourne. It is really nice location close to beach and shops . Also it has huge area to gather lots of people and plenty of carparks with toilet facilities. If you are looking to have a nice Family BBQ this place is recemented.

Beautiful, serene and an all-in-one package, with a park for families next to a beautiful beach for enthusiasts and unfortunately some cosy places for drug addicts and borderline homeless drunks. We went there as a family with the new arrival and we didn’t feel completely safe when breastfeeding, as there were drunk men in rather less conservative attires, homeless addicts sleeping on the benches etc. The scenery itself is amazing and lots of locals come here over the weekend to enjoy the love and life of this amazing place.

Perfect spot for a picnic with the family or friends. A recent upgrade sees this place Witt food toilets, playground for all ages, tables, chairs and more. Sit under the Norfolk pines or the enormous fig tree and soak up all that Altona has to offer. The pier is across the road and it’s 300m from road to the end. Parking is pretty good but can be more challenging in warmer days. Very kid friendly. Toilets close. Shops are across the road for the usual fish and chips plus supermarket and all other amenities up Pier Street. Wheelchair friendly.

Good size local reserve with good park type facilities. Very popular and gets s lot of activity. Well set out and looked after. Street market when I was there last. Close to shops, cafe's, supermarket, etc. Handy to public transport trains and buses. Close to beach and shared pathway trail as well.
