Beckett Park - Balwyn (VIC)

Max Li I live near this wonderful park and come here often. This is a great park with old trees, benches, a playground, cooker and fresh air to endure everyones needs. Plus, this place is pet-friendly, and has a patch of open area suitable for flying kites, drones and frisbees.

Simon Ford Great off-lead dog park. The field is raised, so it drains well and doesnt become boggy and muddy in wet weather. It is 95% enclosed by fencing so quite secure for well behaved dogs. Good size car park off the main road, and a water fountain. Bins get emptied regularly. Vast majority of dog owners are great and respectful.

Parker Felix (Killbot_2000) Nice spot for walk/bike/bird feed(not bread) you can follow the creek for quite a long way through bush/forest. Pretty all around.

Stubbs Brendan “Brenda” An amazing walking trail with accessibility in mind for individuals that have limited mobility And for more mobile people that are dedicated tracks to be able to get Youre Daily steps in.

Clement Maloney A lovely obscure park where one of two events took place decades ago: 1. A weather balloon came down. 2. An event which has been described as one of the most significant UAP events in recorded history — perhaps the most significant event i.e. there were about 100 witnesses in the one location. Merely pondering the possibility of the latter lends enormous presence to the location. Highly recommend for both fun and UAP seekers...

Faux Infinity Great place to take your dog for an off leash walk. Also good spot to see the new years fireworks.

Caroline McGettigan Lovely stop off place. Has picnic benches, childrens playground and lots of shade. No toilets but a short walk to a Cafe.

Nara Lee Lovely vast area that makes for a peaceful walk. The place is massive and teeming with beautiful trees and birds — we saw many ibises hanging about. The cows were also a pleasant surprise.

Haywood Cheng I recently had the opportunity to enroll my child in Camberwell Scouts, and I must say it has been a fantastic experience overall. Here are some key aspects that make Camberwell Scouts deserving of a solid 4-star rating: **1. Diverse Programs:** One of the standout features of Camberwell Scouts is the wide range of programs they offer for kids of different ages. Whether your child is 1 or 12 years old, theres something tailored just for them. This inclusivity ensures that every child can find their place and flourish within the scouting community. **2. Skill Development:** Camberwell Scouts places a strong emphasis on skill development. From basic survival skills to leadership and teamwork, my child has gained a wealth of practical knowledge. These skills go beyond scouting and will undoubtedly benefit them in various aspects of life. **3. Dedicated Leaders:** The leaders and volunteers at Camberwell Scouts deserve a special mention. Their commitment to the well-being and growth of the children is evident in everything they do. They are not just supervisors; they are mentors who lead by example, instilling important values in the scouts. **4. Community Engagement:** I appreciate how Camberwell Scouts actively engages with the community. Through various service projects and events, my child has learned the importance of giving back and being responsible citizens. These experiences have broadened their perspective and sense of empathy. Now, why not a 5-star rating? While Camberwell Scouts is excellent, theres always room for improvement. Sometimes, communication regarding upcoming events and meetings could be more streamlined. Additionally, it would be great to see even more opportunities for parent involvement and feedback.

Peter Campbell Nice open space and trees around the perimeter. Two sporting ovals, the lower one is a friendly off leash area for dogs. There is an automatic toilet on the side of the club building. Both ovals are frequently used for sport. The outdoor gym in the north east corner of top oval is popular. The playground is popular and has some shade covers.
