Mentone Racecourse Reserve

Its a great park to take the kids, have a picinic, watch the ducks, kick a ball around or just soak up the rays on a nice day

I am bias living very close to this park but it's a pretty nice area. Plenty of walking/exercise track around the entire area. Big grass oval for sports. Brick wall for having a bit of tennis or cricket. Basketball ring and area too. Plenty of playground areas, bbq areas for occasions and of course the big lake to feed ducks and other wildlife. Relaxing for groups, solo adventurers or couples looking to be a bit more private. Oh and public toilets that are those self contained metal style ones. Plenty of parking for families too.

Such a beautiful hidden gem in the heart of Mentone.With school holidays coming up there is something for every age group. From watching the ducks swimming to riding on the flying fox to playing on the equipment to climbing trees to practising your tennis just to name a few. Many seats to relax while the children play. There is even bbq facilities.

Such a nice surprise to get lunch from thrift park and look around for a park to sit . Beautiful park

Nice peaceful place, lots of big trees, bbq sheds & kids play space.

Best park ever! Large lake, lots of ducks, huge playgrounds, beautiful walking area and it also has a soccer/football field and basketball court. Always well kept and maintained. It also has a fun little hedge maze for kids and plenty of undercover picnic areas and BBQs. Just be mindful if you have small children there isn't anything between them and the lake so, constant supervision is a must.

Lovely afternoon for a family birthday party here. Beautiful park with plenty of places to explore for kids and adults.

Great park. Lots to do. Soccer, AFL, tennis wall basketball hoop, lake, BBQ, shade. Can get busy!

Beautiful park! I've lived in the area for over 3 years and never knew this place existed! Dogs are allowed on leash and this is a family and child friendly haven! So many things to do spread across the park, soccer goal, football posts, sand pit with diggers, flying fox, swings, slides and heaps of play equipment, horse themed statues and play equipment and plenty of drinking fountains for humans and dogs. Public toilets are accessable and a good amenity to have. There are also a number of gas BBQs and under cover areas as well as seats and picnic tables. There's a lot to explore and lots of little offshoot paths as well as open space and grass areas. Lots of beautiful trees and garden beds, not to mention the lovely lake & wild life (ducks and magpies and other birds). There's also a fountain in the lake as well as two bridges to cross. Good walking track and good parking. Highly recommend.

A lovely spot to stop and have lunch at. Had a great playground for kids, an awesome oval with soccer goals, a tennis wall thing, good condition basketball court and clean public toilets.The pond is nice, with lots of ducks and other bird life, the gardens are very well looked after.
