A part of the playground is an undercover picnic area signed as "Morrison Cattle Yard." An ideal spot for a picnic lunch while watching the kids play, and play they will.
The playground which is in an elevated position has great views of the Yarra Valley.
Up a rise from the playground is a large rotunda with tables and seats also offering views across the Yarra Valley.

A gravel path circumnavigates a large grassed area, a little steep in parts, but not exhaustingly so.
It's an out of the way playground that is an excellent place to avoid crowds. Picnic facilities and barbecues available, but no toilets.
