Wide park very close to Highpoint Shopping Centre next to the Maribyrnong River with a medium sized playground area and a walking bridge to cross the river. The playground has two high slides and a sand area with a water pump that unfortunately didn’t work during my visit. Lots of runners and dogs enjoying a sunny day out and a scenic walk, but other parts of the Maribyrnong such as Edgewater Park area are possibly even more scenic.

Great park, with an amazing playground for kids. Lots of areas to see different plants and is also by the walks along the river. There is a public toilet there as well as benches for get togethers. Parking can be hard at the playground end but there is another park near the entrance that usually has spots and it's a short walk to the playground from there.

A relaxing and peaceful place. The big and shallow rivers are amazing. There are cute birds and jellyfish. I love seeing them!
Playground
Good for family and solo play.
Restrooms
Not very clean.
Dog-friendliness
Dogs like the grass and the water. Dogs swim happily.
Picnic area
Large area for picnicking and sunbathing.

A beautiful park in the heart of Maribyrnong. You can enjoy the scenic beauty by yourself or with your family. The park is in the western bank of the Maribyrong river. Close to High Point Shopping Centre and made it a very convenient option for a day out or for a walk. Car parking and other expected facilities are available.

Piepmakers Park has a brand new playground, along with the Living Museum of the West which is great for kids to explore. Good to see recognition of our indigenous history here too. Plenty of open spaces, some bbq's and public toilets. Good walking/riding paths along both sides of the river. Limited car parking.

This is a favourite spot of ours for a quick visit to a sort of rewilded area very close by home and shopping. Bring tea or coffee, or a picnic. It's a really lovely place and the heritage of the site has been preserved for interest. Love the old figs, lavender, grape vines and other old plants.

Kids love exploring the gardens and learning about the history, lots of educational markers pointing out the features of the old factory. Lovely spacious playground and wide green lawns perfect for picnjcd. Situated alongside the Maribyrnong river, very scenic and peaceful location.

Amazing wonderful gem .. I loved everything in there, people are friendly and if you like dogs, you will see plenty of them just playing around! There is also a beautiful playground near the club end of the park. Also, the toilets are well maintained and easy to access as well.

Beautiful park to explore. Great for walking, running, family picnics, biking . The heritage history is a bonus, learn as you you walk about the Aboriginal culture. The vines would look amazing in spring/summer once they bloom. Very spacious. Playground looks fun .

Nice place for the kids to run around and play - there is a sandpit , tall tree house- looking playground , garden, and enough area to kick the footy around. A 3yo , 4yo and 6yo kid loved playing on the playground and did so with little help climbing up.

very interesting place - lots of local activities held here. great for picnics along the river. the old pipes and machinery from the cannery are great to explore and learn about the sites history and don't forget to check out the living gallery garden!

Love it,which it has big slide and close to public toilet,that would be convenient for toddler to go when they are in hurry. The sand pit area,if could be more organized and more objects to play with,that would be great . Thanks

It's a beautiful and peaceful place. Good for walking/jogging/just strolling around despite the fact that 2 teenagers were hiding in a pipeline structure near the entrance smoking weed. I loved the view from the bridge.

Very nice place for spending really good time. There is long beautiful walkway along both sides of stream. Anyone can do fishing if they want. Lovely restaurants around the park. Lovely atmosphere around the park.

Lovely nature conserve and park hidden away in Maribrynong not far from the Maribrynong river, Jack’s Magazine, Frogs Hollow wetlands, biking paths and close to Highpoint SC. Lovely playground for kids too!

The park itself is huge. Great for a picnic, walk or a run. River provides a nice view. The playground itself is nice. The highlight would be the tree house looking slide. Great for the younger kids.

Good to go for a long walk/run is connected to Maribyrnong river heaps of things to see, the bridge, the kids playground, picnic place, the pond, the river, beautiful houses.

Beautiful Maribyrnong river views! Remnants of Hume pipes site ! Early Melbourne meat works ! Lots to entertain the children! History preserved!

Dodgy blokes hang around the top car park on the gear I reckon and looking to root in the old sheds. Now fenced off. Keep an eye on your kids.

Serenity! A calm, quiet, clean place to escape from hustle bustle and have a time for yourself for a while, alone or may be with your pet!

Big enough for 5-8 kids. It may be too difficult for kids 5 years old or less. Will definitely keep parents amd kids occupied.

Awesome new playground for bigger kids, love the big spaces and the garden area. Definitely recommend for a fun day out.

It's like a real life set of Eric videos plenty of good talent but some are super annoying hanging around like blowflys

Great playground for children. Lovely walk around the Maribrynong river as well. God's facilities for use.

This is very quiet park close to Highpoint. They have couple of bbq there. A restroom is close by too.

5 stars for the location. Has ample space and play items for kids. Has public toilets within the park.

Beautiful nature walk along the river. Interesting historical gardens.

amazing park on the river, and there are old historic places to calm

Awesome park. So much to do even dad had fun.

Great spot for a Sunday morning walk!
