This large garden in Whitehorse Road, Mont Albert is a green oasis in built up suburbia.


It has almost everything. Large open grassed areas, playground, undercover BBQ, numerous park bench seats and beautifully landscaped areas.


The playground and BBQ are almost central in the gardens and from all angles look most inviting.


The area around the playground and BBQ is very nicely landscaped with colourful small trees, bushes, shrubs and flowers.






Throughout the garden, there are many large mature trees which offer a large area of shade for a lawn picnic on a sunny day.




My walk through the gardens was on sunny Sunday and many groups were enjoying a picnic lunch, taking advantage of the many shade trees or enjoying the warm sunshine.


Some of the more mature trees, apart from offering large areas of shade are quite interesting in their growth patterns.




Wherever you are in the gardens, you are never out of sight of a park bench or two. Sitting on any of them would give you a very pleasing outlook.


The south and east perimeter of the garden is heavily landscaped with lots of shrubs, both flowering and non-flowering. A credit to the City of Whitehorse.




There are two main paths through the garden, both concrete. There is a slight rise overall but wheelchairs would have no problems.


Near the play area is the beginnings of a spoon village. Not many current residents, but being a popular area more residents are sure to move in.


Bird wise, only a magpie was photographed but many noisy miners were flying about.



Parking should be avoided on busy Whitehorse Road, but Kingsley Crescent, bordering the western side of the gardens, has an area of off-street parking.




With not many green areas around this location, would be most popular with local residents, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind sharing it with others.
