Amazing park. Very clean and looked after. Great climbing options. It's all ages appropriate with different play areas. The water pump at the sand area wasn't working which was a shame. The water park but is super fun and again, a great design. If kids don't want the spray, there is constant water flowing down channels for kids to walk and play in. Great shady area, good grass area, basketball half court and tennis wall. It got busy on the warm day but it's bareable. Enough space for everyone.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 4 and up who want serious physical challenge alongside gentler play. The climbing dome is the star attraction and holds the attention of older children well. Parents with toddlers will find the in-ground trampolines and water play more appropriate.

The covered BBQ area can be reserved for parties — book through Glen Eira Council in advance
🎟️Visit weekday mornings in summer to avoid the busiest periods

Great playground that is able to host any massive celebration and for any occasion. There are fully functioning toilets, water play area for the hotter months. A massive rope climbing course, sandpit area, double flying fox and a seated undercover area with dual electric bbq. You can reserve the bbq for a period of time for a fee which is great for hosting parties and the alike. Basketball half court for the older kids and a half tennis court. Simply a great day out flat Booran Reserve.

Best outdoor playground for kids from all ages. Encourages kids to explore more. Parents should watch the kids all the time especially at the high slides. But, it’s all fun! There’s a water fountain for kids to play. BBQ facility for group event. We can also play tennis on the wall and play basketball.

Wow, what a playground! My boys loved the climbing! Although there was no water at the sand pit there was plenty behind the BBQ place! We also enjoyed the coffee across the street.
