We are just loving the new-look Bell and Moreland train stations and the new open spaces in between them. The level crossing removal project in this area - which saw the removal of 4 level crossings and the raising of the rail line up over the road - has made way for a very cool array of public recreational spaces. It’s even cooler for little ones to see and hear the trains overhead.

There are brand new playgrounds at both Coburg and Moreland stations and between the two there’s an enclosed dog park, basketball half courts, outdoor exercise stations, a mini skate park and parkour equipment, table tennis tables and bicycle repair stations. We also spied a mini library!

The stretch between the stations is approximately 1.5kms so you can park at one station carpark and scoot or ride along to explore - just be careful of cyclists and stick to the pedestrian paths if walking. Otherwise drive and park at each station if you just want to visit the playgrounds.

The playground at Coburg station is suited to slightly younger children and has more green space than the one at Moreland however both are small. The mini skate park is closest to Moreland Station.

Mamma's special mention: .Need coffee? The Eastern Bloc is right near Coburg Station.
