Jones Grandstand - Albert Park (VIC)

L Dilley A lovely park (no bikes allowed) with a tennis court, lawn bowling facility and playground. Plenty of places to sit in the shade or sun. If you visit in the evening you will be sure to find some cheeky possums. Dog friendly!

Bianca Wacker A futuristic playground great for all ages. It’s a great activity if you’re stuck on something to do on the weekend. Located in Docklands it’s a blend of interactive experiences, mind bending illusions and immersive adventures. A must visit if you haven’t been

Sean Nairn Small garden planted with rosemary alongside the tram line at Port Melbourne as a tribute to soldiers of WWI who passed this spot on their way to Princes Wharf before joining the fighting in Europe. A quiet spot for reflection. The North Port Hotel is just across the way for a drink or meal, otherwise jump on a tram to Port Melbourne for more options.

James Hutchison This park is fantastic! Its very well maintained with clean facilities and beautifully kept grounds. There are loads of open spaces, perfect for picnics, relaxing, or tossing a frisbee around. I really appreciated the accessible restrooms, which were clean and easy to find. Its also super dog friendly—saw lots of happy pups enjoying the space. One of the highlights for me was the abundance of walking tracks, offering plenty of options whether youre out for a casual stroll or a longer walk. Great spot for all ages!

Quynh Nguyen Queen Victoria Market is a must-visit spot in Melbourne, especially if you love food, culture, and local vibes. The market is full of energy, with a huge variety of fresh produce, meats, seafood, cheeses, and deli items.

It can get busy, especially on weekends, but that’s part of the fun. Everything feels authentic, and the vendors are usually helpful and passionate about their products. Don’t forget to check out the night markets if they’re on – live music, food trucks, and a great vibe. Highly recommended for both locals and tourists!

Adam G The Bank Street Memorial Fountain, also referred to as the South Melbourne Boer War Memorial Fountain, was erected in 1905 to commemorate the Jubilee of the City of South Melbourne (then named town of Emerald Hill), and in honour of the 140 South Melbourne soldiers who fought in the South African Boer war and the 8 who died. The fountain is set on a basalt podium with a combination of grey and pink granite. The fountain set within four granite columns that support a freely designed classical canopy and the fountain itself made out of brass. The memorial is surrounded by a fence of wrought iron posts with chains strung between them. The memorial fountain is listed in the Victorian Heritage Register.
