We had our little weekend picnics here, and it's such a nice place to stay and play. My three year old girl loves the rocket slides, the ladders in the rocket could be a bit challenging for some kids, but it's fun. Toilet is very close to the playground, but it's not very clean.

Lovely park near the Swinburne University campus. I was impressed with the amount of trees in the park providing shade for all the groups of people enjoying their picnics. The public toilet is housed in a really cool old building. Love the place and the feel.
