Norris Bank Parklands — Attraction in Melbourne

It's a nicely new built and renovated play area for kids of all ages and abilities. Things to climb on, rope wall, slides, traditional swings, little trampoline, scooter and skateboard track. Zip line x2. A couple other activities that fail me at present. There is a bicycle pole that has permanently attached tools to make any on the run adjustments to your bike. Covered seating suited to bbq's. Toilets. Drink fountains. The area also has a skateboard ramp.nice to see a swing dedicated to people with disability. Gets quite busy and I noticed some older more confident kids dominate any given equipment so that's a blight on their parents either not supervising well enough or not teaching the child to share,and when it's busy it can be a bit intimidating for less confident and shy kids which really is sad to see. Parking fills quickly, especially on no school days or weekends. Overall it looked like the kids were having a great time. Given the available space Council could make it even...

Excellent BBQ facilities, public toilets and playground. Bocce courts and dog park. A lot of friendly faces and families enjoying time together in the park.

Keep an eye out for two families of Tawny frogmouths who have lived in the park 4+ years and have recently had three chicks. (You can spot them just on sundown)

Foxes, echidnas kookaburra and even the odd kangaroo at dawn

Lovely place along the Darebin creek

Follow the bike path (Darebin creek trail) all the way to Wurundjeri Spur Lookout (KEW) 20km away Fairfield boathouse or the city centre Or in the other direction: M80 trail and connect with Merri Creek trail or Moonee Ponds Creek Trail for loop rides

Norris bank playground has disability friendly play equipment and a bike...

Best place to bring a small creature (child or dog) or wheeled thing (bike, scooter, skateboard, roller blades etc) in Whittlesea. The huge playground has plenty of variety and challenges and the dog park is always full of happy hairy beasts (located well away from the playground). I especially like the wheelchair friendly swing. The scooter loop is also a great learning tool for children navigating small inclines and declines on foot, scooter or bike and for navigating other children. Plenty of facilities including toilets and barbecues. I use this park for teaching physio and social skills, as there are plenty of opportunities...
