Quarries Park

Quarries Park is probably the only inner city patch of green that can boast an epic adventure playground, skate park, sports oval, BBQ facilities, open dog spaces and breath taking views of the city.
Quarries Park lies on the edge of Clifton Hill, bordering the Eastern Freeway and Merri Creek and is a series of tiered, manicured spaces. Due to Clifton Hill’s geographic nature of being… a hill… it has the topographical benefit of several vantage points over looking the city, the best being Quarries Park.
There are two sports ovals catering to local cricket teams and after school footy matches. The middle plateau has a covered BBQ area and a playground that even the adults quietly envy. Large wooden structures, forts, dizzy poles (im not sure if thats its actual name but its the best description I could come up with) swings, sand pits, bridges, and climbing ropes.
The skate park usually has a handful of teen/​young adult skaters who are respectful of the space, the skate park is far enough removed from other facilities to avoid potential «stacks».
The real point of difference is the lookout, a peaceful space to gaze out over the city and be quietly thankful you are standing there and not stuck in traffic. It would be 5 star but during the late afternoon the noise from the Eastern Freeway commuters is rather audible.
