Harmony Park - Coburg (VIC)

5 /5 James Cassar: Chasing Balloons and Finding Gold This morning, I woke up to the sight of hot air balloons floating across the sky like it was no big deal. Naturally, I grabbed a coffee, ignored everything I was supposed to do, and followed them like a detective in a true-crime show (except with way less purpose and way more trackies). The chase led me to Harmony Park in Coburg—a park so good I’m wondering why I hadn’t stumbled across it earlier. This place has everything. A playground that makes you wish you were 10 again, a skate park for the kids who can actually ride (and the ones just loitering with their mates), and loads of room to chuck down a picnic rug. It’s just the right size—not so massive you need Google Maps, but not so tiny you feel like you’re in someone’s backyard. The real plot twist, though? Those balloons didn’t just float by—they actually landed in the park. Yep, Harmony Park doubles as a balloon landing strip. One minute you’re thinking, “This is a nice place for a picnic,” and the next you’re watching giant flying baskets touch down like it’s the most casual thing in the world. Honestly, I was waiting for someone to hop out and offer me champagne. So, if you’re after a park with playgrounds, picnic spots, skate vibes, and occasional balloon touchdowns, Harmony Park is where it’s at. Who knew following floating objects could lead to such a solid morning?

3 /5 Amelia Cerra: Great space and play area with a basketball court, however toilets are disgusting and need further maintenance. The picnic benches under the eaves are spacious however extremely dusty because of the gravel, would have been better if they simply concreted the area, there’s always a wind tunnel under there.

5 /5 Rodriguez Juan (JD): Awesome park, it has everything for everyone. Big playground with 4 slides and plenty of gym stuff. 5 swings, huge sandpit with some in-build games, logs for equilibrium, web ropes for climbing and a small slide for the younger ones. It also have a decent BBQ area that’s covered and a public bathroom nearby. Wait… there’s more, it is next to the skate park and there is plenty green space for a footy/soccer match. So it has everything, 5 ⭐️ definitely.

5 /5 Mel Cullen: A big park that has a tunnel slide, two slides side by side, a medium slide, a small slide, rope bridge, wheels you can spin, tunnel, a boat, birds nest swing, hammock, sand pit, seasaw, line up 4, digger, swings, climbing frame, musical chimes you can bang and musical trampoline, gym equipment, skate park basketball court, undercover tables and bench seats, drinking tap, BBQ and tolite lots of grass area to play on for the kids and dogs and rubbish bins

3 /5 Kawther Z: Good playground where kids can experience various skills such as making sounds, building with sand, jumping and climbing. There is also skating area within the park. I saw sings of no BBQ is allowed and it could be new because earlier reviews claimed there is BBQ spots.
