Prahran Square

Fantastic place that's recently been reimagined into a community focal point with fountains and a performance space

People say this Prahran square was a waste of taxpayers money which I do not agree. It’s built nicely and the design is sleek! It’s a very well designed public space and I do like it very much!!! Hopefully people will make good use of the space more often !!!

A friend called this place heaven and suggested it may well be where he first came upon the face of God. I knew he had experienced things. I also knew that neither my face nor my countenance had engaged the idea of God for him. I knew that before he finished with his greeting.So he goes and he sits. And if I remove the idea of God (he of the father and son, they of the trinity) a crowing deceit of an apparently blameless, all knowing being, with limitless powers. (creator of everything, except transparency and accountability) then I can see where he is coming from. It is what it is for him.Heaven does not require the creator to be in residence. For my friend it is a quiet place without people where he can experience respite from ignorance and lies, with nature in relative abundance providing shade and privacy. It is a space where quiet reflection is possible.Forgive my wandering path: Prahran square.... really is quite pleasant.Heaven is an idea, that we all seek in different ways. That it has an incarnation in Prahran, is surprising, but I don't think there is much that is beyond the realm of probability (or probability's rim, as my friend called it. Who crafts probability's rim I asked? A question for another day.

With 2 floors of underground parking. It’s such a better use of space than the previous car park.The space is a bit blinding when sunny but as the trees grow and the space evolves it’s going to get better.The foundations is what cost all the $, small improvements over time will only make it better.

A very enjoyable evening well done to all the performers and to the city of Stonington to provide their residence such a lovely and peaceful area

A beautiful public area that is divided into five distinct areas the Sensory gardens the terrace the southside lawn and the forest. Underneath is two levels of carpark which are free parking for the first 90 minutes and at the Lift you will find a public toilet and access to this wonderful open space. In addition you’ll find Woolworths and Coles with water fountains. Shade umbrellas and fixed table & chairs.There is a small playground and lots of areas for the kids to rome around and enjoy.Plenty of elevated areas with wheelchair access for mobility impaired to enjoy.Overall an impressively well designed and functional area which is beautiful and appealing in its imaginative presentation. Great to explore or just to relax.

Cato Square is a functional and aesthetically pleasing public square that is great for the cooler months but needs some more shelter over the ramped and terraced areas for the hotter months. It has enough green spaces, adventure and play areas for kids and breakout areas with tables, chairs and shade near a nice water feature. Plenty of seating in and around the square. AV and sound installations for background noise create a nice ambiance and the square is well lit at night for security and it looks like the area is also under CCTV surveillance. A great edition to Prahran that turned an ugly former ground level carpark site into the square. There have been complaints that there isn't enough green space included in Cato Square but there are enough parks close by to use, Grattan Gardens is a 1 min walk to the West and Princess Gardens is a 6 min walk to the East. Cato Square is part of a precinct of public spaces and it is the multi use area designed to accommodate public performances. It is cleverly designed to pack a lot in to a small space and discretely hides a multi level basement carpark that is much needed to service the shops in and around Cato Square, Prahran Market and Greville Street.

Abit skeptical of the landscape design of this place initially, but it actually really highlight the character of the suburb. Not only the landscape provides an open space but also meets the car parking space requirements of this suburb. Definitely check out this place when you are around the burb!

They frequently have projects/events, depend on the seasons. It has a strategic location with a lot of establishments around and ample parking spaces.

Great place to chill and have lunch, there are fountains where kids and dogs run through on a hot summer's day to cool down. Woolworth coles and the library are next to the square along with cafes and arcade etc
