Beautiful

I walk through the Fawkner park everyday as it's a shortcut to my workplace in St. Kilda Rd. It's huge and very well maintained. A lot of people come to this park to walk their dogs, jog or just get some exercise.

A hidden gem

Fawkner Park hides its charms a little further south of the Botanic Gardens, bounded by Toorak, St Kilda and Commercial Roads. Lovely to live next to, a surprise to stumble across and fun for everyone (and their dogs!)

Perfect family bbq venue

When in Melbourne in the spring (or any other time really) it is a perfect green wedge in inner Melbourne. Beautifully maintained grass and trees, walking paths and sporting fields abound with the occasional bbq . There are little treasures for the young und like...More

Huge Park

Fawkner Park has wide open spaces, with much lawn, many trees, cycle / foot paths, children's playgrounds, playing fields for various team sports, but few toilets. I have been here for Summertime picnics lunching in the shade of the huge old trees. There are quite...More

Welcome reprieve & recreational use park

This park is a handy calming shortcut to St Kilda Rd business precinct due to the relative proximity to Sth Yarra train station - about a 20 to 30 mins brisk walk with stops at traffic lights. Not quiet with 3 major roads as boundary...More

Good for families and pets

Agree with Victorianlad below, it could be even better with native trees - it is a large park with lots of space, good for locals but close to the city and good for relaxing, walking, picnics and walking the family pet.

Great for a game of frisbee!

A fairly regular city park with nice old trees and plenty of space. Good spot for a jog, walk or chill.
