Box Hill Gardens is a park to go to. It is located in the middle of Box Hill. The shopping centre is only minutes away and some of best cafes are near the corners.
I personally like the walking/running track which is easy to track how far you walk/run when you run or walk. But my kids’ favourite is the little pond with lots of ducks! Feeding is not allowed but there are nice benches around and it is just so peaceful to see some local animals.
Lots of local people visit Box Hill Gardens(BHG) for BBQ and for play in the playground. The beauty of BHG is the playground as there is a extra space for tennis practice, basketball, pingpong and scooters & bikes! Lots of fun!
Box Hill hospital and Epworth hospital are right next to it if that is convenient to anyone.
Love going...

This is due to the fact it is situated right across from Box...

One of the play areas is recently renovated by the Whitehorse council to great effect. They have added a trampoline, improved safety features and an Oakley swing. This in addition to the existing sea saw, slip, traditional swings and a flying fox makes the play area near the Station street entrance a great place to be for children of all ages.
I have organised a range of social events at Box Hill Gardens. Parking might be an issue, but, that doesn't tarnish the reputation of the park as a great outdoor meeting place for...
