The Old Alphington Swimming Pool - Alphington,VIC

Genevieve Read Perfect for dogs of all sizes though a couple of owners of the bigger ones need to stay off their mobiles and supervise! Otherwise, most people seem to be careful and considerate- and very friendly.

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.

Adam G The heritage listed "Temple of the Winds" rotunda in the Fitzroy Gardens is located north west of the Vistors Information Centre. Constructed in 1873, its one of the oldest structures in the Fitzroy Gardens and is another example of the sculptural elements popular in 19th century gardens. Its very similar but smaller than the Temple of the Winds in the Royal Botanic Gardens. The rotunda is a circular masonry structure with 10 columns resting on rough, dressed and exposed bluestone footings. The columns support a domed roof. The "Temple of the Winds" rotunda is popular for small celebrations and weddings.

Chris Sciberras Great playground. No toilets here though, so if your four year old comes running toward you demanding to poo, think fast. Again, great playground.

Lin (AntipodalLin) An incredible treasure looked after by a terrific group of volunteers. A fascinating insight into a world long gone. Beautiful restored rooms, some rooms in the process of restoration and lots of knowledgeable volis on hand. And grab a cuppa across the road while youre there.

Nurcihan Körpe There were literally thousands of flying foxes covering the trees. Every tree in the forest was packed with them, hanging in clusters and making constant noise. It was the first time I had ever seen so many in one place. I also spotted a huge spider for the first time, which made the whole experience even more surreal.

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.
