OK, This place, it's amazing. i may have to ride 7 ks one way to get there but it is worth it. the hilltop has beautiful views of the city. Plenty of walking tracks and nice playgrounds, fitness parks and off road bike tracks to offer. very convenient if you are taking public transport, you have buses, tram route 86 which runs from the city out to Bundoora, and the Mernda line.
If your planning on a picnic, well the park is directly behind a shopping plaza, so if you want more snacks, just a 3 minute walk from the park
As a local, this is one of the best parks i have seen. the views of the city and other parts of Melbourne are phenomenal. In the cold and clear wintry mornings, sometimes you may even see the fog clearing from the CBD.
To conclude, if you love exercise, walking tracks, picnics, off-road bike riding and nice views, come to All Nations Park.
P.S. I will add...

An EXCEPTIONAL Skate Park, for a suburban build - and of course, drumroll please!...
Read moreAll Nations is a really good park. There is a wide open area in the middle where you can take your dog or even have a picnic or relax, a huge man made mountain near the basketball court an exercising area near the pond and a metal toilet block right next to it (I wouldn't recommend going there its stained with graffiti and rubbish and they are quite small unless you have to, but go inside Northcote plaza which is right next to the park) and the best part it has a huge bicycle track that goes around it and if you do some exploring you can find a huge metal playground near the back of the pond. You must go their at least once...
