Like many great Glen Eira parks, Halley Park is a lovely, colourful, all abilities playground. It’s set at the middle of a lush green park, shaded with giant sails and surrounded by lovely trees. The play equipment has a plenty of variations for all ages and abilities. The main structure includes three slides (spiral, straight and curved), educational panels, noughts and crosses, climbing mats, mirrors, telescope, ramps, walkways and bridges, pommel step bridge to balance, cylinders with numbers, stepping stones and steps, ladders, climbers, balance beam, monkey bars and flying fox. There’s also a large rope climbing pyramid, see-saw, rockers, stand on spinners, line of frogs as stepping stones or to sit on, lovely little tables and four swings catering for kids of all sizes. There are lots of concrete paths throughout the park, perfect for riding scooters and bikes. For the bigger kids there is a basketball court and plenty of lawn space to kick a ball or throw a frisbee around, and for the fit mamas and dads; a well equipped exercise station. There is also a dog off-leash area at western end of the park so you can bring along your four-legged friend!

A large rotunda houses three tables, with nearby BBQs and other tables making it ideal for an early dinner or weekend picnic. Toilets are available, not far from the play area and plenty off street parking too. You won’t be disappointed!
