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.

- Gary WRichmond, Australia867 contributionsA great recreation area with several layers of parks on a hill. Playground area is large and challenging for kids. Fantastic views of the city and eastern suburbs. Excellent for joggers, walkers and similar. Clean and well kept. Plenty of parking.Written 7 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TravellerMelbourne, Australia17,552 contributionsCurrent Covid-19 lockdown in Melbourne restricts travel to local parks for exercise. This place is within 3 kilometers from my house.
My wife and I visited this Park to enjoy a walk, the scenic views, fresh air and sunshine.
This is relatively large local park with extensive open grounds and a playground. Located next to the Yarra River with nice views.
Scotch College is located next to this Park. Our son went to Scotch College for Years 7 to 12, so we are very familiar with this area. It is a very affluent suburb.Written 22 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Stunning stained glass windows, ornate religious statues, tiled floor and wooden pews. Everything beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean.

It is located on a busy corner and may be a challenge to get to.Written 20 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- platypus150Melbourne, Australia33,356 contributionsIt had been years since I last walked through this park and was delighted to see a fancy children's playspace at the top of the hill, with attractive equipment and lawns. There is plenty of bench seating for parents there and a flower-lined avenue up to the war memorialWritten 23 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- platypus150Melbourne, Australia33,356 contributionsAnother year and another picnic. I am still surprised that this park is overlooked for social events. There are toilets, a playground, parking, BBQs, shelters, seating, all waiting for customers. It is close to the Bridge Road trams, too. We have a family and friends picnic every Xmas here and have a good spot by the river to enjoy ourselves.Written 21 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GlobalcritiqueMelbourne, Australia337 contributionsThis is an alleyway leading to an old train station with groovy little shops tucked away around the station. Plenty of University students mingling around. Take a look around if you are nearby.Written 29 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael CMelbourne, Australia5,837 contributionsAttended the Boroondara Volunteer Expo here today. Well organised event in this beautiful old building. Foundation stone was laid in 1888. Former Hawthorn Town Hall but now The Hawthorn Arts Centre. Central location with easy access by public transport (either train or tram). Car parking available at the rear. Nearby hotels, cafes and restaurants.Written 17 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- platypus150Melbourne, Australia33,356 contributionsIn a relatively quiet back street is this church with an impressive tower. Built between 1888 and 1890 in a Lombardic Romanesque style for the Wesleyan Church it is now a Uniting Church.Written 29 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,740 contributionsAuburn Station is on Auburn Road, techniically it's in Hawthorn East. The station dates from 1882, and serves the Lilydale, Belgrave and AlameIn Lines. The station is constructed of red brick and stccco, as were many stations of the time. The station ws raised to a two-storey strcture in 1916, due to tecnical requirements. Sadly, while some stations of that era, such as Essendon, have been upgraded , Auburn has been left to with on the vine. There can be few more aggravating experiences than waiting on the station, only to see a semi-express speed through. Auburn Station is on the Heritage Register; it is not without historical merit.Written 19 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
