Eltham Lower Park - Eltham (VIC)

Daniela Morseto My favourite childhood place to visit on some weekends as I grew up on Owen Street just up from the park where the cottage and grounds are situated...I was fascinated with the place and said I would get married there one day.. the memories of all the intriguing things I would see including the cemetery...

Jack Denney Really good playground and green space next to a sports oval (where people frequently walk dogs). There is: a big sandpit with a water spout, electric BBQ, drinking taps, small half court basketball hoop, exercise equipment, lots of parking, and several different playground apparatuses. The outstanding one for us is big vertical spinning wheel, so we call this the "hamster wheel playground". The only downside is the only restroom available is at the big sports club next to the grounds. They feel a bit far away for a little person in a rush, and Im worried they could be locked. Otherwise, this is a great playground.

tanveer brar Followed gps but main gate is closed. So, had to go around the back street to access the park. Beautiful walk with nice lookout. Was lucky to spot some kangaroos, butterflies, and echidnas. Overall was a good experience!

Chris Bray I had seen this on social media on a couple of occasions and am so glad that we decided to go here and check it out. It is an interesting amalgamation of architectural designs and the overall vision of the whole community is incredible. Its like stepping into some sort of European fairytale area with a mix of gothic, French and 18t Century design. Created predominantly by two artistic families, it is something totally unique. We spent a good couple of hours exploring the grounds and different buildings and garden, and then had a light bite to eat in the cafe there too. A great experience that we talked about for a long time after.

Andrew Buckley Lovely park with quite a decent playground for the kids, electric BBQ, full football oval with goal posts, usable public restrooms (Clean but old), Great for dogs aswell. Adjacent to train station and shops.

MysticalGoonBag Okay so um... I went to this place called Cool Fountain?? And like... at first I was like “oh wow, this is—this is actually kinda nice??” The water was doing that soft trickle thing and the whole vibe was like, super chill. Very Instagrammable. But then… I—I noticed these, like... dead birds? Just... there. Not one, not two, but like enough to make me go “uhhh, is this normal???” I dunno, maybe I’m overthinking it, but it was lowkey creepy. Like the fountain’s cursed or something?? Pretty... but cursed. I still can’t stop thinking about it. Would I go back? Uh... maybe. I mean, it was kinda pretty... but also I’m scared?? 10/10 weird little core memory unlocked.

David F Much respect for those caring for this country. Restoring natural waterways. Hope to see Rakali some time.
