Took the kids here in the first week of school hols, and they loved it. It is a crazy hodge podge of so much to do, from the half pipe to the zip line to the many climbing structures. There is a kitchen you can make your own tea and coffee and prepare meals, and a donation 'clown' you can add to for the volunteers that run the park. Will be going back again these holidays.

Nestled in amongst units and apartments on 3 sides, this is one of Melbourne's best kept family secrets. Small'ish but perfectly formed. Lots to interest kids large and small for at least a couple of hours. Free 2 hour parking can be found on nearby streets. Well maintained by volunteers in a grungy, colourful, hippy, relaxed sort of way. It even has a donation-funded kitchen where you can help yourself to tea and coffee. Just 10-15 mins stroll to St Kilda sea front (Luna Park, etc.). Watch out for opening times... the website says it opens at 11pm today (Sunday), but the entrance sign says midday, and the entrance sign was right. Enjoy!

The best park ever. Flying foxes, trampoline, cubby houses, built with assorted junk. Half pipes to slide and run on. Safe and great fun. Activities organised in the late afternoon.
