Waterfield Park - Cairnlea (VIC)

Shannon Meilak Very interesting. I went on the open day, so I could see inside the building and watch the mill and motor in action. I would highly reccomend going to the next open day and signing up as a member of the Sunshine Historical Society: https://www.sunshinehistoricalsociety.org.au/on-line-membership-form

Gemma Robson Took our 5 and 7 year olds to Pirate Day (3rd Sunday of the month). My son is right into ships at the moment so he loved the opportunity to go on a real one. There was a great balance of activities to fill a couple of hours alongside plenty of opportunities to explore the ship either in a group or at the end when some people started leaving. The pirates were great and kept the children nicely entertained. It was a really fun day out (there was an ice cream stand and ferris wheel nearby while we waited). Activities likely too young for an older child (8/9+).

Matthew Bailey Beautiful grassland with wonderful restoration work ongoing.

Kristen Nicholls Used to live near here and it’s one of the main things I miss about the area. As a Pokémon GO player, this place is awesome to play. I’d walk here almost daily. Also loved taking photos here. It always felt like a little bit of nature in amongst the suburbs.

Milan V. If you enjoy relaxing walks or biking, it is a wonderful place. Kids can run around safely and freely. Wide open space. Good for wildlife photography. You will need to bring some water as there are no drinking fountains around if you choose to walk from Altona. I had a day off, and I walked from Brunswick to Altona Meadows. It was a long walk but it was very enjoyable.

TJ Barnes My local walking track, perfect to walk the dog and get the outdoor/nature feels. Exercise equipment + playground!

SS Fantastic park with everything you need. 3 separate playgrounds for all ages. Exercise setup spread across the ground. Tennis courts and a good size field. Nice shared footpaths for bicycles, scooters, jog/walk. Only one pair of writing BBQ. Connected to kororoit creek swimming pool. Well maintained and good level of parking.

Brian “Love cheese” Very great view

Sean Nairn Large parkland area adjoining the headland walk around the Williamstown shoreline. Consists mainly of grassy expanses, there’s also a kid’s playground and a number of historical sites relating to the area’s former use as a naval base and dockyard. Nice spot for a walk - easy to do a loop of the point from the main centre of Williamstown.
