We came to Victoria gardens with friends for a picnic in the park with the dog. The park is lovely and very peaceful and great for dog walkers. They also occasionally have events and gigs on at the park. We went to small print pizza I had the chicken pizza which was Cajun chicken and chilli pizza and my partner had the prosciutto pizza both very nice both were $22 which I think is very reasonable. You order in the pizza shop and then they bring it over to the park when it is ready. Really impressed will definitely return.

Lovely walk to escape the nearby freeway Nice park with wetlands that often fills up when there is lots of rain around. Every suburb should have a park that suits a variety of purposes such as Dorothy Laver

As you walk along the meandering paths , they are enhanced by the trees. There are beautiful grassed areas and lots of garden beds in this park that is set in 19 acres. It is also home to one of the oldest conservatories in Victoria. In 1906, Malvern Council purchased an undeveloped land on the Gascoigne Estate. The area had formed part of a golf course that spanned over the nearby Hedgeley Dene Gardens. The park was laid out with its sportsground and recreational gardens in 1908. It is truly a stunning park... well worth visiting. How to get there? The nearest public transport services are: Tram route 5 along Wattletree Road Bus route 624 along Burke Road ...or you could simply walk there from Caulfield Station like I did.

Set within a stunning residential area, that is full of period homes, is this beautiful park that seems to fill in a space. If you look at the park on a map, it is unusually shaped.... as it meanders across about four streets. Before making my way here I had already spent time in nearby Central Park that was beautiful...while both parks are stunning... this one has an intimate feel. It almost feels as though you have stepped into a secret garden. In 1877, Edward Charsley purchased the land and named it after his birthplace in England. From 1902 to 1911 the grounds were used as a dairy farm. The waterholes and dam became a popular fishing and yabbying spot, known as Maidment’s Lakes. Malvern Council purchased 8.5 acres when the land was subdivided in 1911, using it as a quarry, then as a municipal tip, until it was cleared after the First World War. Returned soldiers planted Turkey Oaks, and the gardens were developed from 1924. It certainly has a unique history... it's very difficult to imagine this as a tip because it truly is so stunningly beautiful. It's well worth seeking out if you love gardens. The locals wandered through with their dogs or simply just spending time enjoying the surrounds. There are public toilets here, seating along the paths, plenty of bags on offer for the doggy-doo-doo and there are also water fountains.

I joined the Trail in Glen Iris, having walked the Ferndale Trail from Ashburton. The Creek Trail has a tough surface and at times is quite wide. It is easy for walking and cycling. It has access to some nature and good views of the Creek.
