If you're in St Kilda you have to check out Catani Gardens.It seperates the ocean from Beaconsfield Parade. This park has BBQ area's to cook a snag or 2 on tables & bench seats & a childrens playground area for the kids to run wild on.The grass is lush.Lots of open space to have a kick or a crack at cricket. Great place for families or friends to get together. Toilets & restroom facilities provided.The park is dwarfed by very old trees including alot of palms so plenty of shaded areas to get out of the sun if need be.The old rotunda is still there & is utilised for those special celebrations.Walking & jogging paths are on the outer edge of the park or along the ocean side. On weekends weather permitted they still have the pony rides for the kids. Catani Gardens is so close to everything.So much to see & do here.The City of Port Phillip Council do a fantastic job in the upkeep of this place. It's usually the start or finish line for triathlons, marathons,fundraising & charity events or music events. It's definitely a place well used by the community...
