Always a delight. The gates don't open until ten and the last two times I have visited did not actually open until around 10:30am.Lots of native plants. My kids loved the rainforest section when they were little.

Great variety in this garden and a pleasant and quiet walk around. It has many branching paths and a beautiful array of plants and areas where different plants are situated. There are benches to sit around these gardens and a bathroom within them as well. Connected to Beckett Park — if you want parking, navigate for Beckett Park and you should be able to find the parking lot.Wonderful break from the usual sights. Loved my visit here!

Beautiful spot for a picnic. Unfortunately we could find only one table. Lots of people also eating their lunch on the many seats around. People walking and enjoying their surroundings

Beautiful native gardens in the Melbourne suburbs that make you think you are in the country. Lots of shade and easy walks and a small creek and rain forest to enjoy. A great introduction to Australian flora for visitors to Australia with the plant information well signposted.

Great little place to wander around and enjoy yourself on a nice day. It's a beautiful place with a little creek running through and lots of native flora and fauna. Public toilets are available at Beckett Park next door and there is even an open day, which is a great opportunity to check out the park with guides. Would absolutely recommend taking the time to visit.

Beautiful garden, with a variety of indigenous and native plants. Nicely carved paths for a relaxing walk. It has a small rainforest feature which is amazing for a place so close to suburbs . Had a wonderful evening and plan to go again...

Love these gardens. If you factor in Beckett Park, which is effectively the same site, this is a small to mid sized space, though Maranoa in particular has lots of trails and interesting corners to explore. Some unusual plants and flowers, and a few sections that are ideal for a picnic round things out. There is parking, and toilets (both in Maranoa and Beckett), and a playground in Beckett Park right next door.

Plenty of parking and a quiet spot at the end of Parring Road, this park is full of a huge variety of fascinating Australian plants. The shapes, sizes, colours are amazing. This is a great place for walks and relaxed gatherings; there are lovely green lawns and beautiful huge canopy trees. Be sure to bring the insect spray; the mossies are thick and fierce. But don't let this deter; this park really is worth a visit.

Maranoa Gardens is a small hidden gem. Small winding paths through Australian native plants lead to a couple of open grassy clearings. Ideal for a stroll or just to sit and read.
