Kershaw Gardens — Attraction in Park Avenue

From a travellers and a Green thumbs perspective I think it was the perfect place to rest and recalibrate after a long 8 hrs of driving.

Excellent amenities that cater to everyone. Shaded kids state of the art playground, safe surfaces, water bubblers, heaps of covered gazebos with solid tables/seats, free gas BBQ's as well as a shallow artificial creek with big fixed umbrellas to seek refuge from the heat.

Huge open lawn areas,gentle walking paths that were bitumen and close to food shops for restocking the pantry, vehicle refuelling and repair services.

Impressive overall native plant selection and landscape layout and very well maintained.

Very close to the CBD and Fitzroy River.

Highly recommend you google search the directions...

The Kershaw Gardens is a wonderful place for the whole family. There are walking paths all over that take you on an excellent stroll through beautiful gardens and little forests made up of native flora. In the middle, there is a massive mulit-stage playground where kids of young and old can spend hours playing and have a ball. Right beside that is a mini water park, complete with fountains that everyone can have a splash in. If you need somewhere to walk your dog, then you are in luck as Kershaw Gardens also has a fenced dog park with an agility course and a very large off lead area. Your doggy will have an absolutely great time at Kershaw Gardens. Bring the whole family or just wonder around by yourself, Kershaw is a great and safe...

Well done to the council and all the people involved for such a great park. Beautiful areas for the kids, nice waterfalls, would be wonderful if you turned it into a swimming lagoon? Dog friendly and people friendly. A free 48 hour camping area beside the park. This is great as travellers have a bit of extra money to spend at local businesses, instead of spending that money at high priced caravan parks that I’m finding out most seem to be owned by offshore companies affiliated with blackrock. I hope more councils will adopt this great idea, travellers help support small businesses in the towns they travel through. We have spent that additional money and more in your local area. We probably would have not stopped here...
