Surrounded by beautiful large trees and with so much to do, it’s a place you can play the day away.
Mamma LOVES this beautiful wooden playground!
Phoenix Park in Malvern is surrounded by stunning large trees and with so much to do, it’s a place you can play the day away.
Not only is there a mostly fenced in wooden fortress playground; complete with multiple swings of different varieties, slides, steering wheels, musical charms, and cute little paintings spread throughout - there’s also a library, community centre AND a cafe!
Oh and a HEAP of open grassy space with skate ramps, too!
This place has such a warm community feel to it, and that may be due to all the hard work the many volunteers put into making this park so great. Each fence paling has the name of families who helped in the production, which is a lovely local touch.
So pack a picnic, bring a BBQ or dine in at the cafe and settle in for a day of play!
the nitty gritty
picnic tables - BBQ facilities - free parking- toilet facilities - skate ramp - cafe on site - library onsite

This great little reserve is perfect for the little ones to run around, chase birds and burn some energy. Perfect position, being smack in the middle of one of the most fashionable areas of Melbourne, providing a great break from some serious shopping!
There's two separate areas to have a play; with facilities like slides, swings, rock-climbing wall, shop and more! Lots of grass, some windy paths and soft mat turf, make it awesome for bikes of all sorts.
There are plenty of cafes nearby to grab a coffee and snack to enjoy a picnic, too.
