Hedgeley Dene Gardens - Malvern East (VIC)

Melbourne With Siri This is such a great spot! The kids loved the water play area, and we were so glad there’s plenty of shade around. There’s heaps to do with the big slide, climbing, sports areas, and paths for bikes and scooters. Perfect for a fun family day out!

Sam Keir Nice walk from Baths past all the lovely houses, obvious to spot the original ones as theyre not as imposing as their neighbours. Very popular on a Sunday afternoon, lots of walkers, cyclists and dogs. Good city views too.

cartoonrob When its cold in Melbourne and you want a small tropical atmosphere for a few minutes, come in here. It used to be bigger, but it was still enjoyable to check out the range of plants.

Sean Nairn Another of the planets that forms a scale model of the solar system, starting about a kilometre south of here and continuing north to Pluto at Port Melbourne. The size of each planet and distances between each one give a highly educational view of the vastness of our galaxy - for reference the model of the Sun is over a metre in diameter while Saturn is about 20cm across, and if you make it to Pluto it’s the size of a pinhead. The total walk stretches for about 6km and is a great way to see the beach and learn something in a couple of hours.

Ni My child enjoyed this place a lot, and thats the most important thing, hence the 5 star review. Despite some aspects looking a bit dated and old, like the ride and the 4D cinema. The highlight was taking part in the Master builder session where we went through a guided task of putting a lego figurine together. We booked a 10.30 session online, but we arrived early and they kindly let us in before the allocated time. There is a cafe but we brought our own snacks.

Ying Yi Liao Interesting and wonderful hedges! Just on the main roadside. It might take some time to remain I guess.

Stu Jones Really useful visit. So much to learn, so much to understand and appreciate. Some museums are too big...but this is just right...excellent content...well laid out ....2 or 3 hours....longer if you want...up to you. I knew very little about the Jewish people and religion before my visit...now I know a bit more...and I respect and understand a bit more. Maybe Ill go again. Lovely staff....very welcoming....thank you.

Victoria Strong This park is stunning, full of beautiful heritage trees, lots of deciduous trees that give beautiful autumn colors and leaf fall which kids and dogs love to play in. The lake is lovely with much bird life (but feeding not permitted) as well as a waterfall and some pretty bridges. It spans 4 blocks and easily joins up with Central Park… another lovely area with some outstanding cafes and coffee shops to break the trip.

J R Very pleasant space, friendly, and quiet. Tennis courts, wide open grassy field for running, games, or picnicking. Plenty of shade from beautiful trees. A few benches, one picnic bench. Small childrens playground which is safely fenced because this is an off-lead park. Provision of bins, and dog poo bags.
