Nice lil park... Just watch out for the bull ants

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with toddlers and primary-age children based in or passing through Melbourne's inner north. The variety of equipment suits mixed ages and the sandpit with council-provided toys is a bonus for younger kids. Combine with a coffee from the Thornbury cafe strip for an easy weekend outing.
