1 / 3Waverley Park Lake Playground
📍 Mulgrave, VIC
Fully fenced playground with tower slide, dual flying foxes, water play pump and sluice gates, large sandpit, birds nest swing, and sheltered BBQ areas. Lake walking trail and on-site cafe adjoin the park.
This is an excellent park catering to both younger and older children. It features a wide variety of play equipment and activities, including a water play area, sand pits, slides of varying heights, a flying fox, and small trampolines. With BBQ facilities and a pond, it’s an ideal destination for families looking to spend extended time outdoors. There is also a convenient food and beverage stall located next to the restroom facilities, offering meals, drinks, coffee, and ice cream. The toilets are well-equipped and include change tables, making it especially family-friendly. The only downside is that, due to its wide range of amenities, the park can become very busy on weekends.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children of mixed ages — the water play and sandpit hold toddlers as dual flying foxes and the tower challenge older kids. The BBQ facilities and cafe make it a practical full-day destination. Arrive early on weekends or visit midweek to avoid peak crowds.

“One of the best play areas in the Monash council. A lot of playing options including zip- line. Place is kept very clean with bbq areas. There is a lake next to it with a walking trail, which is beautiful. A must visit if you have a toddler or kid. Also, first time seeing a cafe next to a play area. Plenty of parking on the road. All the sides of the park are gated and so bit more safe. Toilets are at the entrance.”
