Fawkner Park Barbeque and Picnic area

This Barbeque area is located adjacent to the Fawkner Park Toddlers Playground, one of 2 playgrounds in Fawkner Park.There are a couple of Free push button Barbeques here, and half a dozen or so tables and benches sprinkled around. BBQs were Immaculately clean and sparkling when I visited. There are also rubbish disposal bins, and toilets are nearby, around 100 metres. A larger playground for older children is located South of here near the primary school. The small adjacent toddler playground is half art installation, half playground. This is a small one designated and beautifully designed for toddlers. Sandpit, climbing stairs, artificial grass crawling area with interesting lumps and bumps etc. The whole are is gorgeous with interesting and sculptural details like the concrete spheres embedded in the ground with leaves embossed in the surfaces that represent the trees in the area. So kids can play match the leaf games looking for leaves on the ground to match the various spheres, each one being different. As well as a chrome/mirrored sphere embedded in the centre that kids can see themselves and their surrounds in, a giant fisheye lens. The whole are is shaded by many beautiful trees, especially in autumn.
