Hight rate 6 location for tourist in South Yarra, VIC , Australia

James Hutchison This park is fantastic! Its very well maintained with clean facilities and beautifully kept grounds. There are loads of open spaces, perfect for picnics, relaxing, or tossing a frisbee around. I really appreciated the accessible restrooms, which were clean and easy to find. Its also super dog friendly—saw lots of happy pups enjoying the space. One of the highlights for me was the abundance of walking tracks, offering plenty of options whether youre out for a casual stroll or a longer walk. Great spot for all ages!

A Hatsumi I just visited this lovely park. There were happy dogs playing around, a tennis court, and a little café where you can enjoy a coffee or a sandwich with a beautiful view.

Pat Chung I came here looking for Autumn leaves but not much were found. Its still a quiet and nice park though.

Andreas Ludwig Large and well maintained park to stroll, exercise or walk your dog. I took our dog there while waiting for my wife - and really enjoyed the spacious area, the nice walking paths and numerous benches. And Yoshi enjoyed the great grass. :-)

Megan Fawkner Park is full of beautiful parkland surrounded by beautiful trees, made footpaths, a number of ovals, and plenty of green grass. Great place to take your dogs for a play if youre in the area

A W Such an interesting piece of design that is both beautiful and functional. As with all things in the Botanical gardens Guilfoyles is well thought out, practical and beautifully executed. Accessible from both sides of the garden for all abilities, its a pleasure to walk up to the top and get an understanding of how it all works and the useful purpose it serves. Once at the top, theres some great views of the city and the rest of the gardens.

G abby Part of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, the Guilfoyles Volcano is a beautiful area covered in mostly cacti. On top of the "volcano" there is a pond with all kinds of birds. Walking paths are very well maintained and offer access to the top even for wheelchairs. Not very busy so its easy to take some nice pictures without people around. The area is not that big so be sure you dont miss it when visiting the Gardens.

Cameron Darke A beautifully xeriscaped area full of colorfully contrasting cacti, succulents, and bromeliads shown off at all angles by winding pathways and of course the elevated "volcano" itself, which affords an excellent view of the surrounding city. Its easily my favorite part of the Botanical Gardens.

Richard Lipp Nice but make sure you check arbitrary nature of gardens closing times as you might get caught out.

ashish kumar panigrahi A great cricket ground with really scenic views by the Yarra. Really good drainage even after a lot of rain. The biggest issue was parking as no signs exist to direct traffic to the car park. Car park is at top of the hill and this is challenge for young cricketers if they want to carry their gear.

Matthew Millsom Great place for a car show.

Craig Coffey Christmas carols at Como is always an amazing show. Plenty of space for kids to run around, food trucks and all the favourite tunes to seeing along too. Fireworks at the end never disappoint. Maybe just leave the dog at home.

Patrick Baker Good spot for dogs, exercise but the upkeep continues to be an issue. Lots of the grass has died off.

Jarrod Nice spot to go for a walk around the ground. Its also a popular place to take your dog for a walk. One of my favorite parks in the area to visit for some ball games

Mate Antolos Very lucky to find this little gem 4.2 km from the Melbourne CBD. Parking along Alexandra Avenue or close to Como Landing where the punt ferry operates on Saturday and Sunday and public holidays from 11-4 pm. Free ferry as well as entry to the island. Opposite is a lovely cafe called Kanteen. As well as the walking paths there are sculptures and picnic and bbq facilities. There are also toilets and the old scout hall which is a gallery. Worth the visit in this cost of living crisis. Also note the island can be hired for private events.

Koen Alexander A special park only accessible with your own boat, or during certain parts of the year when Parks Victoria runs a punt service for free. We found the island a bit too overgrown (despite lots of volunteers in evidence doing weeding). I found the art ok, but not great. There are a couple of benches and two covered picknick tables. There is a small art gallery on the island, with toilets.

Kat tt Hidden treasure, must visit this place, beautiful sculptures, trees, plants, there is a gallery that has original artwork available for purchase, there is also toilet facilities next to gallery, there is lots of places to have a rest, tables & benches, transport to & from at no charge.

Daniel Primarily visited the island to find the handful of geocaches located on it, but was pleasantly surprised at the general layout and things to see, very unique hidden place that I imagine a lot of Melburnians dont know exists. The punt to access was super quick, and the driver was a proper Aussie legend.

World Foodie This place is one of Melbournes best kept secrets: a small island on the Yarra River between Richmond and South Yarra, with various sculptures nestled amidst native bushland, and only accessible by a small barge operated by Parks Victoria.
