garden city reserve, port melbourne

This is a great little park for all those DINO lovers!

There is a ‘Portasaurus” living underneath the playground! Just his large head, big mouth, spiky teeth and watchful eye protrudes from his garden bed.

Kids will love the prehistoric eye watching them as they climb up the rock wall. And watch out for the spiky teeth as they slide on down its nostril!

This is a beautiful reserve, with manicured gardens and heaps of large, leafy trees to picnic under and explore.

The playground is quite small, but cool - with equipment such as a zipliner, spinner, multiple swings, slide, a spiders nest climbing structure, bridge and monkey bars.

There is a toilet a short walk away near the dog obedience shed.

Mamma’s special mention: Keep the fun going and head to the awesome Maritime Cove playground around the corner.
