Braeside Park

What a pleasure to walk the 5km circuitStarting with bush and little billabongs spotting the occasional echidna, heading out to feeling like you are in the country passing paddocks and cows, then on into the wetlands to see the bird life, following a lovely stroll back with Cyprus tree aligned the path back to the picnic grounds. It is a wonderful place for a picnic and is fabulous for families with a very big and adventurous playground

Excellent park for a good recreation/walking/cycling /picnic with family and friends. Kids Playarea is good as well. You'll get to spot hare and their borrows. It's a peaceful park to visit

Great place for some bird and rabbit spotting!. Very safe and large running path with lots of runners. Great for bike riding as well.

There are so many trails and many rabbits around. Grassland was good. You can spend a day here. Have a walk, chill your mind and enjoy the day

Braeside Park is a special undisturbed place of nature, hidden within the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne.Within the four corners of this park you will find spectacular sights of flora and fauna, within its heathlands, woodlands and wetlands.You will easily forget that you are not far away from civilisation when you visit this place.Excellent for a walk, run or bike ride.

Excellent place to visit on a nice sunny day... can spend either an hour walking around or a day picnicking with friends. I came at 2pm on a Sunday and the parking was crazy; had to circle around twice till I found a space.Very kid friendly with plenty of playgrounds and things to do. I think there was one cafe on location so definitely bring your own food and drinks. Park is well maintained and curated.

Braeside Park is a nice parkland with lots of BBQ areas and hangout places. Its a gorgeous picnic area for a family outing.Suitable for larger groups.

It protects significant environmental and cultural heritage, from Aboriginal occupation to European settlement. Muralled art walls depict the flora, fauna and cultural heritage of the area. Tree stump art carvings of local celebrities line Cypress Drive. Wander through the interactive community garden.” - I found this on the website. The mini Museum was closed on that day. Opening hours unknown.

The park's water features, including fountains and ponds, add a touch of serenity to the surroundings. The gentle sound of flowing water and the sight of shimmering reflections create a soothing ambiance that enhances the overall experience.

Amazing park, great for a bit of easy hiking, big park full of wildlife and lush green. Have some nice picnics areas as well
