John Locke
★★★★★“The name suits it because the view is fair and the atmosphere is relaxing. There are large areas of grass, trees, chairs, tables, public toilets, BBQ facilities and an oval. Nice for dog walking, picnic, jogging, sunbathing and sports. Bring your kids and dogs. Dogs can be off leash. There was a duck in Yarra River on a cold winter day in my video here.”

★★★★★“This park is an excellent place to bring your dog for a walk and a play. Such a beautiful, big, open area, and all of it off lead. My dog absolutely loves playing here and meeting lots of other doggy friends. She fascinated watching the rowers go past on the river. Fenced in playground is great for kids too. Love being here early in the morning”

★★★★★“Really nice old park by the Yarra River. This place is great for coming to relax and having a picnic. There is a playground for the kids, benches to sit on by the river and wide open space for playing or bringing a dog. This park is definitely worth a visit and the layout itself is very unique.”

★★★★★“Came here with my partner and had a really nice time. The park is really clean, although a little bit hilly but not necessarily a bad thing. The elevation changes would be really good for tiring out a dog very easily and with it being a dog park makes it sort of perfect. The area is very nice with all the big houses around too”
Jonnie Martin
★★★★★“One of the most beautiful and serene parks in Melbourne. Sits along the yarra with stunning view of the CBD skyline. Dog friendly and BBQ facilities. It's my GOTO for walking, chillin out and picnics.”
