With tall gum trees, plentiful birdlife and large open spaces, this is a beautiful spot for picnics, walking or ball games.
Fairview Park adjoins Wallen Road Reserve and covers 5.6ha, set beside the Yarra River.
A lovely oak-lined boulevard runs through the centre of the park, and dog-lovers and their four-legged friends will enjoy the generous off-lead area.
Address
Fairview Street, Hawthorn 3122
History
In the 1880s, the reserve was called Tea Gardens and it was a popular destination by boat. The park's current design was created in the 1930s and the rockwork dates back to those days.

Children will love the seesaw, swings and slides and enjoy playing among the trees alongside the playground.
