Harmony Park — Attraction in Melbourne

Chasing Balloons and Finding Gold

This morning, I woke up to the sight of hot air balloons floating across the sky like it was no big deal. Naturally, I grabbed a coffee, ignored everything I was supposed to do, and followed them like a detective in a true-crime show (except with way less purpose and way more trackies).

The chase led me to Harmony Park in Coburg—a park so good I’m wondering why I hadn’t stumbled across it earlier.

This place has everything. A playground that makes you wish you were 10 again, a skate park for the kids who can actually ride (and the ones just loitering with their mates), and loads of room to chuck down a picnic rug. It’s just the right size—not so massive you need Google Maps, but not so tiny you feel like you’re in someone’s backyard.

The playground and park has lots of shaded areas making it great for hot days. There is also a stake park and basketball rings. As well as a BBQ area, public toilets and parking on site. I highly recommend coming here for an active outing with family and friends of all ages as there is so much to do and the whole...

Awesome park, it has everything for everyone.

Big playground with 4 slides and plenty of gym stuff. 5 swings, huge sandpit with some in-build games, logs for equilibrium, web ropes for climbing and a small slide for the younger ones.

It also have a decent BBQ area that’s covered and a public bathroom nearby.

Wait… there’s more, it is next to the skate park and there is plenty green space for a footy/soccer match.

So it has everything, 5...
