1 / 3Harmony Park
📍 Coburg, VIC
Large Coburg park with a multi-feature playground including 4 slides, 5 swings, a huge sandpit with built-in games, equilibrium logs, web ropes, covered BBQ area, and skate zone.
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?
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting a full-morning outing with kids across a wide age range — the playground suits toddlers through primary school, the skate area extends it for older siblings, and the covered BBQ facilities support extended family gatherings. Early morning visits carry the possibility of watching a hot air balloon land.

“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.”
