bulleke-bek park, brunswick
/Well how cool is this? A brand NEW playground in the heart of Brunswick! The park’s name, Bulleke-Bek, means Brunswick in Woi Wurrung language and the space has just opened as part of Moreland Council’s ‘A Park Close to Home’ program which will see several more areas across Moreland returned to parks and green spaces for public use. Yay!
This is a lovely space where you’ll see and hear trains passing overhead. There are two large fort structures with small and large slides, a see-saw, a set of swings including a basket swing, lots of nature play elements like tree stumps and rocks and of course, the manual water pump which the kids will LOVE - the water filters down through a mosaic adorned stream with wooden bridges and is captured in a dry creek bed at the end (which looks to be filling up to create a small lake!)
There is enough green space for picnics and lots of undercover seating and tables with a bbq. The front section of the park is being prepared for community gardens with composting and worm farm facilities!
mamma’s special mention: Babycino time? LOBBS is a short stroll away!
the nitty gritty
toilets - several picnic tables with cover - BBQ facilities - water refill station - bike racks - pram accessible - 2 hour parking in surrounding streets or there are 2 small carparks along Breese St
