Basterfield Park - (VIC)

5 /5 Kerbray: Beautiful gardens with water features and a cross amongst the reeds in the lake. Two childrens play areas, both with a good array of equipment and features. Great for picnics and taking the dog for a walk on leash. Plenty of shaded areas and a few benches within the park. Toilet facilities are located near one of the playground areas, and its definitely one of the better parks in the area.

5 /5 Sam Keir: This park is probably my favourite, walk around the lake and youll think youre in Ballarat or Daylesford (OK on much smaller scale) but so peaceful and lovely. Saw ducks and even a black Swan which at first I thought was fake, as it wasnt moving, then just ever so slightly it moved its head. So much to admire at Basterfield Park, loved it. And because park is so big it has 2 play areas for kids, either side, including one with a zip line! There is also a BBQ and an undercover picnic area while placed throughout are lovely bench seats, perfect for admiring the gorgeous scenery. Next to the lake is also a tribute to those who served in Vietnam and never came home, including a memorial cross rising up from the water, very serene. Beautiful.

5 /5 JK C: Local here, and I affectionately call this park little botanical gardens in the burbs. Is a hidden gem with a wide variety of different trees and thought out landscaping. Great for a relaxing picnic. Does have toilets, bbq facilities, shaded seated areas and two seperate playground for the kids which have both been updated, with a fun flying fox.
