The Rivoli segued from a 40s-style picture palace to a modern in-demand multiplex. The Rivoli, while usually said to be in Camberwell, is actually in Hawthorn East. The Art Deco-style buidling reopened in 2000 as a multiplex with eight screens, including a Gold Class Cinema. The Rivoli is walking distance to bustling Bourke Raad, one of Melbourne's most prosperous shopping strips.

Lido Cinemas is a brand new eight screen artiplex showing both commercial and new release art house films in the heart of Hawthorn's bustling Glenferrie Road. Our exciting new cinema hosts special events and ensures audiences enjoy an intimate and specialised cinematic experience with films that cater for everyone. Possessing a vibrant atmosphere and boutique, individually designed cinemas, Lido's diverse program of films and events will appeal to the many different tastes of film aficionados in the local area of Hawthorn and of wider Melbourne. The Lido's unique space has lost none of its grandeur since opening in 1912 when it first opened as a cinema. Innovative Architect Aidan Halloran has combined the building's original structural features with contemporary design and technology. Preserving the building's historic charm has been at the forefront of the design process and we hope you enjoy seeking out the cinema's gorgeous original features. The Lido sees some of the world's most cutting edge technology, including a 4K projector and Dolby Atmos, contrasted beautifully in our historic venue. If you look above you'll also find Lido's impressive rooftop cinema. Our rooftop forms as the first venue in mainland Australia to have a rooftop screen attached to the cinema.

Preview of a movie New Years Eve, lovely glass of champagne on arrival. Preview had been more popular than I assume expected so email went day prior informing that had been moved to biggest cinema. Seats had been reallocated, with care taken to ensure hopefully in the same previously preferred section. Staff were warm and welcoming, ensuring that patrons knew their new seating allocations. With late arrival, which there were quite a few, not the cinemas fault. Staff were requesting patrons to please just take any seat as they were disruptive to others. Great experience ????

Central Park's best known feature among the younger set is the Rocket, which is a great adventure to climb; it also has an extra-long slide. The gardens have lush foliage, meandering paths and 'green rooms' for photography. Since they were established in 1900, the gardens have had their ups and downs, but they remain one of Hawthorn's favorite places; the gardens can be hired for functions.

Playground is safety fenced, so no issue with young kids wandering off too far unless they are specifically let out. There is an automated public toilet- but only one. Would be great if council installed a second toilet. There are BBQ with sheltered areas, newly installed shading cloth sails, and a huge expanse of playground equipment from traditional swings and spinners, to a long boardwalk and climbing ropes. There is a small skate park suitable for younger and older kids, plus a basketball court. Popular park for kids parties and celebrations. Gardiners creek trail just nearby behind the park.

A great safe & clean park if you want river views and bush land plus open green fields. BBQ facilities, bins, toilets, playground, easy parking. There is a steepish path down to the river but that's great to forget you're in inner city. Very popular with dog owners - a nice walk along the river that gets a bit rugged further on. Lots of room to play fetch with friendly people around. You can watch the rowers training, sit under a shady tree or lay out a picnic rug.
