CLIFF ALLISON PARK

Public BBQ

Cliff Allison Park emerges as a quiet neighbourhood gem in Essendon, transformed from its former baseball diamond into a decidedly family-friendly space. The secluded location appeals particularly to parents with young children and those teaching bicycle skills, offering safety away from busy streets. Children take advantage of the space for bike jumps and general play, while the calm atmosphere provides a refreshing retreat. However, maintenance tells a complicated story - lawn areas struggle with persistent weeds, grass often grows longer than ideal, and the lack of public toilets remains a practical concern for families. The park's hidden character and good basic facilities make it worthwhile for local families, though visitors might want to stick to paved areas and bring refreshments. Despite challenges, it retains charm as a peaceful suburban escape.
