So many times, we do not notice our closest parks value. But we do have the nicest and extremely modern or historic parks just a short walk or drive from our home. I will never forget the time I wandered out into the park behind our house for the very first time. It had a historic home, dog off-leash park, cricket pitch and at the very end, a lovely horse agistment area. There was also a VFL/AFL training area. This was all in the middle of Vermont South, behind the new police station.



We have moved from that area, but since then, I have always tried to find those park gems. And I have found another one, in Berwick. Again, I found it when I pulled over to take a mobile phone call. It was hidden beside a medical centre. It was ultra-modern and perfect for walking myself or dogs on a lead. It had nice fresh toilets and a ripper playground for the kids.



The path all around the park is nice and flat, wide and safe. With a bit of humour, it is painted with State borders such as Victoria to South Australia. At this time, when we are limited to moving among states, I could enjoy a chuckle at this; I can still cross virtual state borders! I went all over Australia three times during my walk. There is a small skateboard park as well, so not as dangerous as some of the bigger ones with big jumps.



And it is set up for dogs walking with another modern innovation of a water tap with designed dog bowl below, filled with water for your pet pooch.



Some of the swings are sculpted wide tires and there is still the good old fashioned merry go round.



There are undercover picnic tables and flash BBQ grills all around.



You could spend hours in this park with family and friends. For the moment, see if it is 5k from you and go down with your immediate family. For the moment, some of the park's facilities are closed, but you can walk and enjoy for now and look forward to a spring and summer using it.



It is a lovely treasure with stunning trees. And the flowering wattles are on the go as we get toward spring. There is also a water feature, for all our flying friends, ducks, ravens, even some rosellas. And at the back of the park, it also celebrates our war heroes as a war memorial, lest we forget.
