What’s more fun than a flying fox? Two flying foxes!! You’ll find two side by side at Kelvin Thomson Park, with a playground, basketball court and large open spaces.

This well-hidden park in Pascoe Vale South is perfectly tucked away from the M2 and has two entry points connected by a walking path. It also runs along a fenced-off train track, making it an excellent spot for train spotting, with Metro and V/Line trains passing through frequently.

The playground here is small by mighty, with various climbing options, a rope bridge, double slides for more side-by-side fun, a moveable clock and spinner on either end and a little cubby underneath. There are also three swings, tire hopscotch and monkey bars with two options for crossings, fixed bars or wobbly handles. There are heaps of nature play opportunities throughout the parks, with logs, large rocks and greenery scattered all around.

The park is full of substantial tall trees and has grassy open spaces perfect for ball games or frisbee. A few seating options are available, with benches to just sit back and watch the kids from or a picnic table to refuel after a play or basketball match! There’s even a cute table for the kids made from a tree log with matching seats.
