Footscray Park - Footscray (VIC)

5 /5 RagingGlory: I love Footscray Park. It’s huge, vast, quiet, beautiful and I adore that the Maribyrnong River is right there next to you. The loop along the river and against the Racecourse is really fun and a great length, especially for walking dogs. The Racecourse side is essentially “fenced” in the entire way, your dog can just run with you on the path since theyre bordered by the river and the giant wall of the Racecourse. There is one section that is on-leash but most of it you can let your dog off and they can have a splash in the river too. It’s really disappointing that the adventure playground has been dismantled, and a lot of the beautiful paths and lakes have been fenced off for probably 5+ years now. Maribyrnong Council, please speed this up!

3 /5 Alfa Omega: Nice place to chill on a Sunday afternoon. Well maintained gardens with dozens of different plants and trees. Overlooks the Maribyrnong River and Flemington Racecourse. BBQ facilities, children’s playground & toilets.

4 /5 Jawad Arain: The 15 hectare park is located on the south bank of the Maribyrnong River in Footscray and largest and most intact Edwardian garden. The park occupies a wedge-shaped area of land, comprising hill and river flats, between Ballarat Road and the Maribyrnong River, opposite Flemington Racecourse. Lots of amenities including shady trees, bbq area and playing area for kids.

5 /5 marg willis: Very pretty park with plenty of lush green spaces. Good paths. Lots of big leafy trees to lay under with great views over Flemington to the north.

5 /5 Emcy B: Every new years event has been great for couples and young families to enjoy with 9:30pm fireworks, carnival rides, food trucks and free live stage music
