Hannah Ruth
★★★★★“Nice-sized playground at Leigh Park. Lots of fun, various play equipment, and a giant net swing that is super fun or relaxing (and adults can swing too!) I like how the playground had different play areas / equipment for kids of different ages. Seating and tables too, for snacks in between playing or having a meal. Big oval space for walking, jogging, sports, or just walking the dog. Lovely neighbourhood.”

★★★★★“This might be the closest park from the messy shed Balwyn branch if you would love your little one had snack outdoors after play. It’s a good place to play as well. Various facilities for babies and older kids. There’s even a mini swing, which looks so cute. Just a kind reminder, don’t get misled by GPS. The kids playground area just located along the Main Street.”

★★★★☆“Great park, with easy parking locations all around. Cricket pitch in the middle which is used in weekends. Many people run around the oval.the children's playground is a good one, with good variety. Water fountain. Park benches all around and shade under trees. This park does not have public toilets tho as the cricket pavilion has changing rooms but are locked when not in use.”
