Marie Wallace Bayswater Oval

smells like a sewer

Marie Wallace Bayswater Park is located in Bayswater with Mountain Highway to the south and Bayswater Road to the east. The park is also bounded by Dandenong Creek on the north and King Street to the west.This is an amazing community space that is enormous. There are heaps of different sections for a range of age groups and abilities. The 'Train Park' would not be true without a retired engine. Taking centre stage this red beauty has its own stairwell leading up for you to explore. The giant - has its own platform, ticket booth and tracks - perfect for crawlers. The main playground is a giant sweeping wooden castle type structure with slow inclines and hidden treasure to keep things interesting. A crawling toddler was quickly up the ramp and off discovering the castle. On the warmer days you will spend most of the time underneath where it is well sheltered and plus there are lots of corners to explore with imaginative play. The sheltered part is also tall enough for adults to walk under too - added bonus. Heaps of other highlights including an elephant slide, massive sandpit, swimming hippos and lounging lizards.There have been recent upgrades (and not only at the level crossing nearby) and there are now more open space for bike riding, skateboarding and scooting plus a brand new climbing wall, monkey bars and netball rings at various heights!

Great sporting venue
