Kooyong Park

I really like this park for a number of reasons: It's set back a long way from the main road, there are toilets close by, there are several ovals to run in (including a long jump pit), it's on the Gardiner's Creek bike path, and there is a great range of equipment to encourage creative play.

The playground is opposite a baseball pitch, hence the baseball theme. There is a scoreboard, timer clock, bases to run between, a commentary box and 'talk' panels. There's even a mini grandstand. The play equipment is quite accesible for most ages, although close supervision is required for toddlers on the larger structure as it is quite high off the ground.

The neighbouring parkland is a leash-free dog zone. There is one barbecue but it is at the Glenferrie Rd edge of the park - quite a long way from the playground.
