Pipemakers Park — Attraction in Melbourne

Great, interesting and varied park, decent parking, interesting pipes and tiles garden area and amazing new playground for the kids. It's also a gay beat, no where near the kids' area, so don't be weird about random dudes hanging around north of the second car park, or whatever, Just mind your business 😊 (unless that's what you're after lol) On that note, not even making a pun, do watch out for snakes cause there's proper good bush and grass. There's also the river and some like pondish sort of areas that can fill with water when it rains, so intrepid younger kids WILL need direct supervision to be safe.

I think there's a dog area on the other side of the river, which is easy to get to over the bridge.

I've never used the toilets or picnic facilities, couldn't tell ya what...

Fantastic but not easy to describe. The basic architectural shape of the old pipemakers factory is still here but the ruins have been incorporated into the park in different ways. One rectangle is a traditional garden of lawns, flowers, trees and benches. But beneath your feet are the concrete ruins of one part of the old factory. It's lovely but it's incongruous. Next to it is another rectangle, this one dedicated to massive concrete pipes, which lie about in disarray. Some you could sit on top of to eat your lunch, others you disappear into as you walk through them. The old sheds of the factory plant are also here, all fenced off for safety reasons perhaps. But there are many man-sized holes in the fence for those who really want get in and have a good poke around....

beautiful, clean, benches, bridge, beautiful walks and nice relaxation. One single problem: needs few more barbeque areas, not many but 2 or 3 would be perfect. It s a good size wonderful park. Vwey clear and easy to see it s another Council, not Whindam, all other councils are better than Whindam, nothing is soooook bad like Whindam !!! They don t care about people needs, don t learn anything from other councils, don t even try to do something more or better. Thank you for this beautiful park, wonderful to know there are good Councils in Victoria, except bad ones...
