Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I visited this place to have a walk across the park and the playground during our recent holiday in Yarra Valley. We stayed at Yarra Valley Grand Hotel for two nights. The Hotel is located within a short walking distance from this place.
This is a nice local park that has been upgraded since our last visit many years ago. The colours of the autumn leaves were very nice to look at.

This park and playground is an absolute gem, and a credit to the Yarra Glen Community. It has plenty of adventure equipment for the children to play on, a basketball ring, BBQ's, tables, seating, lots of shady trees and expanses of grass for ball games. It is set in lovely gardens and across the road from a IGA Supermarket, bakery, butcher's shop & cafes. There are new toilets and a new Community Hall. Yarra Glen is a gem of a village and a great place to visit amongst the wineries, and a great chocolaterie. The new Black Saturday Memorial was unveiled this week and is the most beautiful memorial one could envisage.

Excellent spot for parents to let their kids burn off some energy. The playground is huge with plenty of seating as well as barbeques and basketball court.

On weekends and public holidays you will struggle for a park. There is plenty for the kids to play on with swings, slides and the whole shabang! Great for bringing tourism to Yarra Glen. I recommend for a family day out, but if you want a parking space close, and a BBQ area with shelter then get there early.

All the school mums met here on the school holidays. It's 2 suburbs across & 20 mins drive but worth it. Love all the bike/scooter paths & that it's so big!

Great water feature that the kids have great fun diverting and building sand castles with. Excellent play ground with about the only thing that could be added is a zip line. Excellent picnic/bbq amenities and well maintained toilets. Plenty of parking, lovely outlook and not busy. Right on the main strip with supermarket across the road and plenty of food and cafe shops within short walk.

We were on way to Kingslake via Yarra Glen and decided to stop in at the park with our three young daughters. They loved it and gave us a short break to relax before continuing our way. Highly recommended lots of families with kids there.
