Nara Lee
★★★★☆“Basic park and playground in the city. Not much to write home about but not a bad place to spend some time. The trees here are big and beautiful!”
Noonok Soraya
★★★★★“nice and clean park for my little monkey climb up & down”
Glenn Bachelor
★★★★☆“A nice little gardens and playground along the side of the river. There are a number of tables and chairs for people to use for lunch and the fenced playground for little ones to enjoy. It’s a quick walk to the Main Yarra Trail running along the Yarra River. The parking can be hard to find here, and Alexandra Ave is really busy with traffic.”
Pamela Khoo
★★★★☆“Nice place. Playground equipment seems well maintained. Baby/toddler sensory board is placed at the wrong height.”
