Beautiful gardens for a walk, picnic or just plain photography. Lots of greenery, with water views and a permanent ship museum for your backdrop. There's an abundance of restaurants on the road stretch to sit and enjoy these views. Very relaxed, gone for a holiday kind of feel here. The heritage buildings on the roadsides also make for an interesting exploration. Parking meter seem to only accept coins so come prepared!!

Fantastic park in the middle of Williamstown CBD situated right against the water and Gem Pier. Great way to spend that day walking around and looking at the historical sight and also the retail shops nearby.Council had done a good job of keeping park clean and tidy, allowing picnics or taking in the sun. Public toilets and children's playground.

Nice park with grassed area's, shade trees during summer, rotunda, toilets and playground. Also a jetty to walk on which you will have a good view of Melbourne city, Westgate bridge, moored boats, an old Navy ship(which you can go aboard for a small fee, water taxi's and sometimes an old wooden sailing ship which does tours. There are many cafes and restaurants next the park and icecream shops. Once a month there is a craft market in the park which is good to visit. Check online for dates and details.

Great place for families, kids, and group BBQs, especially during sunny beautiful days like today. The breeze coming from the water, the beautiful sunshine, the relaxed and happy atmosphere is just perfect. The kids also have a lot of fun on the playground, watching the ships from the pier, and there's enough grass to play soccer/footy while parents and grandparents picnic. There are tennis courts if you wanna have a game and heaps of great restaurants to choose from the main strip also. Just an overall family-friendly environment - would definitely recommend for a lazy weekend.

Stopped here for lunch as part of our Yarra river cruise, 1 1/2 hour stop over between boats, lovely green park with plenty of shops close by, 2 fish and chip shops to choose from with in 100 meters of park entrance, plenty of seating and toilet facilities, even a tourist info centre in the park

Commonwealth Reserve use to be our favourite place to take our kids when they were little. It was easy to find a car park AND it was free. There were nice little boutique shops to visit and cheap fish and chips were always available. Ending a visit with a picnic in the reserve was a delightful experience. What was once a lovely local spot to spend a Sunday afternoon has now turned into a high tourism location, with very little and expensive parking and the boutique shops are now turned into fancy cafes or cheap tourism gift shops. It's sad. It once was a beautiful place to visit.

Nice place but always super busy and no easy parking with strict council parking rules. So be careful!!! Very hard to find a parking spot though. Don’t forget to walk on the pier and check the city from there.
