Oldis Gardens - Northcote,VIC

Peter Campbell Nice park with large open green space next to Merri Creek. Large open roofed building good for barbecues and picnics. Their is a narrow sealed shared trail through it that bikes and pedestrians can use but its poorly marked. Off lead area for dogs.

Jimmy K Good evening to everyone except the people who feel the need to drive into Penders Park, very frequently. Wether theyre expectant mothers, or young people who have some other excuse, fact is they do not work for the local council, and while this unlawful, they are placing people of all ages at risk. There are children running around at busy times and aging people with specific needs. Please be respectful & mindful of this.

Whether youre a local or a visitor, Carlton Gardens is a must-visit spot for some calm and beauty in the heart of the city.

Paul Richards A nice park with a brilliantly designed playground for kids, including a big slide and lots of sand. Beware of dogs though - some people let their dogs loose inside the playground, despite the signs. Its very well connected to the Merri Creek Trail. The car park usually has lots of space, at least on weekdays, and its also easily walkable from Clifton Hill station.

Thomas Liontis Cute dog, bigger then you would expect.

Shaun Davis It looks really old and a little creepy but at the same time it’s so peaceful and quiet

Bec Brilliant play area for my son aged 18mths but the sand didn’t taste as he expected haha He loves the nest swing, the slide, and the sandpit with toys provided. Safe clean and easy access.

Rupam Bhandari Nice place to go for a smoke at midnight.

Andrew Guy Darling Gardens is a very scenic and reasonably quiet park. Its a great spot for meeting because it is on several bus lines and is a stones throw from Clifton Hill station, and another stones throw from the tram lines on Queens Parade. It has a nice playground area. The only drawback is that the public toilets are quite far from the playground. But once that is surmounted it is a great place for a family get-together. Remember to bring your own tables and chairs.
