MysticalGoonBag Okay so um... I went to this place called Cool Fountain?? And like... at first I was like “oh wow, this is—this is actually kinda nice??” The water was doing that soft trickle thing and the whole vibe was like, super chill. Very Instagrammable. But then… I—I noticed these, like... dead birds? Just... there. Not one, not two, but like enough to make me go “uhhh, is this normal???” I dunno, maybe I’m overthinking it, but it was lowkey creepy. Like the fountain’s cursed or something?? Pretty... but cursed. I still can’t stop thinking about it. Would I go back? Uh... maybe. I mean, it was kinda pretty... but also I’m scared?? 10/10 weird little core memory unlocked.

Mahshid Sadri Very nice and peaceful reserve. You can see kangaroos and rabbits everywhere

Jack Denney Really good playground and green space next to a sports oval (where people frequently walk dogs). There is: a big sandpit with a water spout, electric BBQ, drinking taps, small half court basketball hoop, exercise equipment, lots of parking, and several different playground apparatuses. The outstanding one for us is big vertical spinning wheel, so we call this the "hamster wheel playground". The only downside is the only restroom available is at the big sports club next to the grounds. They feel a bit far away for a little person in a rush, and Im worried they could be locked. Otherwise, this is a great playground.

David F Much respect for those caring for this country. Restoring natural waterways. Hope to see Rakali some time.

The greensy Rizzler If your a Carlton fan and you want to see a team you support actually win I would come here and see st Mary’s dominate

Daniela Morseto My favourite childhood place to visit on some weekends as I grew up on Owen Street just up from the park where the cottage and grounds are situated...I was fascinated with the place and said I would get married there one day.. the memories of all the intriguing things I would see including the cemetery...

M Mohebbi Very beautiful park, lots of activities for kids, and also lots of parking and barbecue places. What makes it more beautiful are the old and tall trees there.

George from In Focus healing and wellness clinic This is a great family destination for both young and big kids. The mini train is always an enjoyable experience, and the volunteers do an amazing job!
