Pitcher Park - Alphington,VIC

Emily Chandler A seriously underrated spot, All Nations Park should be on your list for your next picnic in the inner north. The park has ample shade for hot days, and plenty of soft grassy spots for a picnic blanket. The lookout boasts some pretty nice views of the city skyline; and the parklands are big enough for a satisfying afternoon stroll. Being right next to Northcote Plaza, and high street, means you’re a stones throw from ample facilities, parking, and picnic supplies. Don’t forget to check the leafy walkways near the basketball courts if you’re after a picnic spot, either!

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

Hayley Meyer Beautiful, open area for dogs to run, explore and play! Easy walkways for people to walk along, stunning surrounds and lots of places for your pup to inspect! I thoroughly enjoyed making our way in and around the bush land, getting my feet wet in the creek and watch my boy run and have fun!

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.

Joey Di Pietro Great to walk past and see along the beautiful walk.

Mary Licata We had a lovely time at the veggie garden with friends and family. This part of the park is a wide open space where the kids can run and play. Beautiful view of the city.

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.
