Wilson Reserve - Ivanhoe,VIC

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.

Sarvesh Kumar Absolutely stunning lookout point! The view was incredible — the entire city was visible, stretched out beneath a clear sky. Perfect spot to relax, take photos, and soak in the beauty. A must-visit if youre in the area!

Ying Yi Liao Lovely place! The community create a brain-like space to let people get relax and meditate. I was sitting there and feeling the chill energy. It was a nice afternoon for me.

Senarath Angammana Beautiful and Peaceful Escape – Carlton Gardens, Melbourne Carlton Gardens is one of the most beautiful and relaxing green spaces in Melbourne. With its wide open lawns, elegant tree-lined paths, and vibrant flowerbeds, the view is simply stunning. Its a perfect place for a peaceful walk, a family picnic, or just to sit and enjoy nature. The gardens are very well maintained, clean, and full of charm. Youll also find some interesting features like fountains, a lake, and the historic Royal Exhibition Building right in the middle, adding to the area’s cultural appeal. 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.

Thomas Liontis Cute dog, bigger then you would expect.

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.

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.
