One Tree Hill Picnic Ground - Tremont (VIC)

Nara Lee Lovely place to walk, love the different trails and the various terrains! Quite busy with cyclists, so be aware of that, but off the main track, there’s plenty to explore. A good way to get out and spend some time with nature.

Catherine Sareen Great place for our local kids footy team to train

Maddy Wong The best off-lead dog park - love taking my dog here! during the weekdays, it’s quiet and peaceful. After 5pm, there’ll be more dogs, good for socialising. Water and agility play for dogs available, but no bins.

B Collier Beautiful peaceful various walking tracks from easy to harder. We visited mid week so was quiet. What is left of old homestead is gated off cant get up close to see but area is lovely.

Rakesh Saha Located in Box Hill South, this park offers a quiet break from the busy daily life. The appealing wooden structures within the play area is surrounded by beautiful trees. Undoubtedly, a good location for small family get-togethers/picnic.

Mahdi Dehghan Good park with a big dog off leash area.

Tan T A very peaceful and beautiful Buddhist temple located away from the busy crowd of Melbourne. The moment you go there you can feel that incredible peace inside you. The surrounding and the set up of the temple will have your mind at peace. Coming from a Asian background I could relate the cultural resemblance. Not too crowded during weekdays but heard it’s busy during weekends. Seems like they have small food stalls as well. Plenty of parking if it’s not crowded.

SS Newly renovated park. Old playground plus new playground. Both are excellent for kids of all ages. The bicycle, roller blades, scooter trail is a great course for kids to really move. BBQ facilities and a decent size oval to kick a footy around. Tennis courts. Ample parking around the area. Definitely one of the best parks on the west side

sventek This is such a beautiful park with so much greenery and a proper creek flowing through the middle. Its a long skinny park as opposed to a flat square garden type but by no means small. Theres playgrounds, BBQ facilities, picnic benches, walking trails, public toilets, and other unique features like tennis courts and a bike track. Nice walking paths. Free parking available closeby.

RagingGlory I love Footscray Park. It’s huge, vast, quiet, beautiful and I adore that the Maribyrnong River is right there next to you. The loop along the river and against the Racecourse is really fun and a great length, especially for walking dogs. The Racecourse side is essentially “fenced” in the entire way, your dog can just run with you on the path since theyre bordered by the river and the giant wall of the Racecourse. There is one section that is on-leash but most of it you can let your dog off and they can have a splash in the river too. It’s really disappointing that the adventure playground has been dismantled, and a lot of the beautiful paths and lakes have been fenced off for probably 5+ years now. Maribyrnong Council, please speed this up!
