Malvern Public Gardens - Malvern (VIC)

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.

CassPlaysMusic (PokeNerd) DOGS EVERYWHERE it is amazing, I am slowly easing into the thought of dog ownership and this is a lovely place to meet other owners, get your dog more comfortable with other dogs or like me if you don’t have one. Just go and pat them all with consent of course.

Paula C Came for the tour of the Grand mansion. It was a little drawn out and would have been nice if the there was a seat to sit on along the way. I was feeling weary and needed to take the weight off my legs. The lady doing the tour was very informative and it was very interesting. I loved the way they have conserved and protected this historical propriety. If you like the yesteryear and history of such a place. This is definitely worth a visit.

Steve Le Big park with connections to a Baseball ground which is rare for Melbourne. Friendly area and major spaces for dogs to run around. Though tables would be nice for a picnic.

maxx kalil Very good sunset view

Ashlee Jayde Grattan Gardens is absolutely gorgeous and such a versatile space! We attended a Fringe Festival event here, and it had a lovely garden party vibe, complete with a cute bar setup. Beyond the festival area, the gardens extend with plenty of open space, perfect for relaxing or exploring. Despite the rainy and gloomy weather, the lights and pops of color really brought the area to life. Located in the heart of bustling Prahran, it’s surrounded by a vibrant scene with nearby cafes and restaurants, making it easy to grab a bite and then unwind in the park. If you’re visiting during the Fringe Festival, this location is a fantastic choice. There’s a circus tent set up with various performances, from Granny Bingo (which we saw) to circus acrobatics. I love that Parks Victoria supports local talent and art, and the space they create here is wonderful. There’s plenty of heating outside the tent on cooler nights, though it can feel a bit chilly inside until everyone’s settled in. Definitely check out this spot, not only for the beautiful park but also for the work they’re doing to bring Melbourne’s art scene to life!

Ritchie William Impressive park to lounge around in and enjoy watching the world go by in st kilda, with a beautiful back drop of the coastline and lunch park, with park hosts events all year round so there is always something exciting happening here, Close to public transports rest rooms and cafes bars and restaurants Would recommend

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.
