Visited on a Sunday so there was a waterfront market and the bonus of a Triathlon. Lovely place to visit and the extra of seeing for free the fairy penguins at the end of the pier, Lovely clean area easily accessed by tram from Melbourne, sea breezes and good cafes on Acland Road.

Underrated and sometimes forgotten when visiting St.Kilda beach, but worth coming if you’re nearby if you want some quiet space. As you can see it’s pretty well lit up during night. Plenty of benches, there’s a public toilet, some drinking fountain, a lovely rotunda in the middle and its very well maintained. Nice place to chill or have a picnic.

St Kilda Pier is a Melbourne landmark and has traditionally been one of Melbourne's most popular tourist attractions. Providing panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, the pier is a popular destination for strolling, cycling, in-line skating and fishing. St Kilda's Little Penguin colony is well-known for making the breakwater its home, and is a popular tourist attraction. You can view the Little Penguins from the viewing platform at St Kilda Pier or by charter boat. St Kilda Pier has safe wheelchair access, lighting, handrails, drinking fountains, toilets, barbeques and a picnic and playground area. Only 5km from Melbourne CBD, St Kilda is well serviced by public transport. Take the tram from the heart of the city. Alternatively, car parking is available in the vicinity of the foreshore.

I seriously don't bother going to Phillip Island anymore the fairy penguins are right here! It can depend on the night as to how many there are but we have been lucky on most occasions that we have been. There is also a great view of the city from the pier, a great photo opportunity beckons.

We happened to visit St Kilda on a quiet Sunday afternoon and strolled into this beautiful community garden when families were gathering on the lawn and picnicking. Soon we realized they were preparing for a concert. We bought a glass of wine from the organizers and nestled into a delightful few hours of people-watching and entertainment that felt like a very authentic way to experience an evening with locals.

Pakington Street Reserve is has a good playground in a highly built up area. Kids love it, there is a wide variety of playground equipment which will keep the ankle-biters occupied for hours. The park also has a picnic table with benches. Dogs are permitted on leash. Parking is available, but the 4 hour slots are taken up quickly, but there is usually no problem getting a 1 hour parking spot. You can access the park from Pakington Street, or by crossing the pedestrian bridge from Lynott St.

This is a pretty park that has something for everyone. You can take a gentle stroll along the Palm tree lined path or take the children to the lively play area, there are plenty of benches to watch the world go by or lovely shaded areas to enjoy a picnic.

Have been visiting the Peanut Farm for football for about 20 years. It's a fairly small oval and often a bit rough because it is so heavily used, but it's still a St Kilda icon.
