Banksia Park - Bulleen (VIC)

5 /5 Natalie Hanau: A lovely relaxed green space with walking paths, a dog park, water features, sculptures & picnic areas. Very popular on weekends. Access to Heide Art Museum and the cafe, and toilets onsite. Be sure to check out the exhibitions too.

4 /5 Afsaneh Gh: Banksia Park is a spacious haven by the Yarra River, ideal for families, history buffs, and dog owners alike. With plenty of open space, picnic areas, and playgrounds, it’s a popular spot for all ages, and the Heritage 1.9km Trail offers insight into local history. The parks cherry tree groves, a gift from Japan in 1980, add a unique charm, especially when in bloom. Dogs also can enjoy the fully fenced, off-lead area with a drinking fountain and shady spots, while visitors are advised to bring their own BBQs and dispose of rubbish off-site. Whether walking, cycling, or just relaxing, Banksia Park offers a beautiful escape in Melbourne’s north-east.

4 /5 Gavin Leung: We visited in mid Oct. Tho there are many flowers, and it’s amazing. But the season should be a lit over. I think the best timing will be early Oct.
