A fresh addition to Eltham Lower Park, this upgraded playspace is a great option for an easy park pit stop or the perfect place to set up for a party or family BBQ.

There are multiple picnic tables, covered rotundas, and several BBQs, making it super family friendly and ideal for gatherings. The playground caters to both little ones and bigger kids. The main climbing structure is a bit of a challenge (better suited to the 5+ crew), but still plenty of fun options to keep the younger kids entertained.

One of the best parts about this park is everything else that’s around it. You’re right next to the Diamond Valley Railway, so if you’re there on a Sunday, you can pair your park visit with a train ride and a treat from the ice cream truck which is regularly set up on Sundays and always a winner.

Directly across the road there’s an oval, perfect if you’ve got a ball obsessed kid like mine. You can get a good play in at the park, then cross over for a kick of the footy or to run off some extra energy.

And if you’re really keen (and the kids are still going strong), Copper Butterfly Playspace is only a few minutes’ walk away and a great add on if you’re after a bigger adventure.
