Raquel Robinson Went to Moomba here, one day spent on the Birrarang Marr side, the next day spent over at the Alexander Park side of the water. It was really hot the days I went so was hiding in the shade which theres a lot of, water is nice, watching the jet ski show, parked at Melbourne park $7.50 for the day if no event at their venue. Recommend prebooking parking as its a lot cheaper

James Hutchison This park is fantastic! Its very well maintained with clean facilities and beautifully kept grounds. There are loads of open spaces, perfect for picnics, relaxing, or tossing a frisbee around. I really appreciated the accessible restrooms, which were clean and easy to find. Its also super dog friendly—saw lots of happy pups enjoying the space. One of the highlights for me was the abundance of walking tracks, offering plenty of options whether youre out for a casual stroll or a longer walk. Great spot for all ages!

Richard Hill Very photogenic ivy on the wall of this house

Mate Antolos Very lucky to find this little gem 4.2 km from the Melbourne CBD. Parking along Alexandra Avenue or close to Como Landing where the punt ferry operates on Saturday and Sunday and public holidays from 11-4 pm. Free ferry as well as entry to the island. Opposite is a lovely cafe called Kanteen. As well as the walking paths there are sculptures and picnic and bbq facilities. There are also toilets and the old scout hall which is a gallery. Worth the visit in this cost of living crisis. Also note the island can be hired for private events.

Passion To Profession One of the most beautifully Palm Trees in Victoria.

Shawn Zhang A wonderful spot to watch the sunset, Melbourne skyline, and people, lots of people. Very busy over the long weekend, and probably most weekends too. Parking right at the lookout can be tricky to find, but if you are happy to walk 10 minutes, then you should be fine. Still worth the trip as the view is beautiful!
