Victoria Strong
★★★★★“This park is a local slice of heaven. It’s beautifully maintained with annual floral displays and stunning trees. There is a heritage glass house with an orchid display and a beautiful sunken fountain. The local council put incredible events on here too, concerts and carols and light shows. It’s a significant feature of the area and also surrounded by amazing restaurants and coffee shops. Love it!”

★★★★☆“I went to the 2024 Glow Winter Festival Show cuz I saw an advert on Instagram and thought it looked cool, so decided to check it out. I gotta say, it was a pretty good experience. It's a free experience so all it costs is your time 😌 there were a total of 6 displays and it's a great place to bring the kids, go as a couple, or by yourself too which is what I did 🤣 only runs for 4 nights but it runs yearly so if you miss it then there's always next year.”

★★★☆☆“Glow winter arts festival, Central Park. Wonderful interactive and colourful. Great food trucks. The only negative was the path and kerb lighting non existent, several people including me tripped on the kerb as it was dark and there was no lighting or reflectors to show the lip.”

★★★★★“Central Park is a nice peaceful park in the City of Stonnington local council. The park is a good meeting place to see other people and walk laps of. It has beautiful gardens and overall is beautiful park which if you want to/can, should go and visit.”

★★★★★“Lovely park with plenty of shade, and lots of options for kids to play on. Main negative was the lack of a fence all the way around, so several dogs from the nearby dog park came into the area and scared the children.”
