Maranoa Botanic Gardens - Balwyn (VIC)

Nurcihan Körpe The sunset is stunning, making it perfect for evening walks, and it’s a favorite spot for birds. Whether you get caught in the rain, watch lightning, or simply sit on a bench, the experience is enjoyable. It’s a small park, but very peaceful, and you can even enjoy a distant view of the city.

Kimberley Hall A great open space for kids to play or run around. Good variety of equipment which caters for different ages. A drink fountain, rubbish bin and table and chairs at the playground a nice addition as well as numerous benches around the park

Bhaskar MC 15.45 hectares of tranquility and peaceful greenery. Home to many endangered Tawny Frogmouths as well as Rose Breasted Galahs. Baseball diamonds, soccer fields, cricket nets and netball courts - it has it all.

Matthew N Great playground with four swings, two slides, a water pump, and various other items.

Sheshagiri V Beautiful .. i can never forget this reserve.. the dirt bike arena is unique.. long bike paths with beautiful scenery makes a perfect outdoor event for a family..

Russell Costello Its getting better and better. Open undulating lawn, mature trees,meandering bitumen paths, wetland, playgrounds, kids running track, games facilities, ANZAC memorial etc. Its still being improved.

Marc Reilly If youre a new or relatively new parent, after you come for a play here on a Saturday morning, have a wander around all the various sporting fields. When your little one grows up in about 10 years time thats the kind of place where your all Saturday mornings are going to be with school sport. (This one is pretty good)

Nicky If you like eating Red Rooster chips under a tree, this is the place for you as it’s right next door. Gorgeous native trees, a shrine, a cannon, retro lamp posts and a cottage to look at scattered through the pretty gardens. My dog also loves to come on a weekly sniffari here! Well maintained and quiet.

Zaadie Had a beautiful experience with my baby attending the Heide Baby Class. The museum itself is a hidden gem. Lovely sculptures and landscaping set atop a hill. The story of Sunday and her lover and how the museum came to be was particularly enchanting, and to experience what it is today was captivating. The tour guides were highly engaging for both bub and parents. We learnt so much about the location, art origins and garden. The cafe has an amazing selection of brunch and lunch options. Coffee was delicious. Such a peaceful place. We look forward to visiting again soon ⭐

Natalie Hanau A lovely relaxed green space with walking paths, a dog park, water features, sculptures & picnic areas. Very popular on weekends. Access to Heide Art Museum and the cafe, and toilets onsite. Be sure to check out the exhibitions too.
