HAWKE ST PARK

Public BBQ

This recently redeveloped pocket park delivers practical family recreation in the heart of West Melbourne's Brooklyn-esque streetscape. The centrepiece playground features two slides cleverly built into climbable mounds, alongside swings, a roundabout, and a generous sandpit complete with digger. A BBQ facility and drink fountain round out the amenities, though visitors should note the complete absence of shade over play equipment - making summer visits potentially uncomfortable. The well-maintained grassed area provides breathing room in the dense urban surroundings, positioned conveniently near local cafés and North Melbourne station. While the newly planted palms and trees await maturity to provide much-needed shelter, the park currently serves as a tidy after-work destination for families seeking reliable play facilities. The location's proximity to Apollo café makes it ideal for grabbing a cuppa while kids explore the thoughtfully designed equipment.
