What is the best park with BBQ and undercover area for a 6 year old in June – rain very possible? 

Bicentennial Park Chelsea is awesome! But get there early to get table and BBQ – Stacey M

Balcombe Estuary, Mt Martha fantastic area – Viv C

Balcombe Estuary is an awesome area in any weather. Plenty of cover and the open fire for warmth. – Tammi M

Chelsea – Michelle S

There’s a great park at the old Moorooduc Railway. Has undercover areas, BBQs & toilets. It’s just off Two Bays Rd / Moorooduc Hwy – Rebecca V

Balcombe Estuary. You can have a fire there too – Kylie V

Rye front beach just before Safeway or opposite Safeway in Rosebud (Boneo Rd) –  Rose W

Dunns Road, Mornington & Chelsea (Bicentennial) – Julie-ann M

The Munya farm in Doveton/Dandenong is perfect. There are huge party rooms there and a huge playground, animals, barns, train rides etc. Great place. – Elle E

Balkan Park or Cranbourne Botanical Gardens – Erica M

Tractor Park Dunns Road Mt Martha. Undercover BBQs n tables – Edwina K

Mt Martha near the golf course – Brenda B

Scotch Parade in Chelsea – Dana C

Also there’s the skate park on Dunns Rd Mornington. Kids can take their scooters / bikes / skateboards, there’s also playground, lake where you can feed the ducks, undercover BBQ & a small basketball court. – Rebecca V

Carrum – right next to the Maternal Child Health Centre – Nikki E

Ballam Park – Melissa J

Ballam – Hayley K

Ballam in Karingal, but if it’s in winter I’d hold it at a play centre – Missy F

🪓This summer, MANIAX Knox is turning up the heat with Glow & Throw, an electrifying axe-throwing series where glowing targets, blacklights, and neon energy collide for the ultimate experience.
🎯 
After throwing and eating yummo pizza we headed off for some Chrissy shopping, haircuts and, of course, @timezonegames - at which point my hubby and I donned a couple of comfy chairs and waaaaaaaited. Lol. 🫣
