Mellor Park

woo this place has tennis courts, a playground and lots of space.
This park right on henley beach road is a great spot to run around with some friends or to have a hit of tennis, when the courts aren’t being used by the club.
The only drawback of this area is it’s right on the busy Henley beach road so it’s a bit noisy and if you’re a bit paranoid you might not want your kids playing so close to the road.
So park here and have a ball (perhaps a tennis ball) at the park.

Finally! A park with toilets. I think I’d give a park three stars simply for having a toilet, and everything else on top of that is a bonus. My kind of park is one that has a great moat of green protecting a toilet right in the middle. Nothing else actually matter. And a drinking fountain too? Benissimo!
There’s a wide area and plenty of space to play with balls. There’s your usual playground. There’s a barbecue. And that’s about it. But there’s nothing more you need. Of course, there could, perhaps, be a little more shade. We’re in Australia, after all, not Siberia. But, regardless, this is a nice park. If it’s your local park, it’s worth being proud of.

I am definitely a fan of this playground but something held me back from giving it five stars. Perhaps it was the dated equipment, perhaps it was the lack of equipment designed for the much older children, perhaps it’s the lack of shade over the playground, or perhaps it was the long distance to the toilets, I’m not sure but let me tell you what’s great about this place.
This playground is fully fenced and the entire space has a rubber flooring. There is a drinking fountain, tap, table/​chair and BBQ all within close proximity to the playground. Unfortunately there isn’t any shelter/​shade over the table but with the massive gum trees in the park, there is some shade depending on the time you visit. This is a great place to come but for me, it slightly falls short of my ‘destination’ playground status. Maybe I’m having a bad day lol.
There’s PLENTY of space to kick a ball or throw a frisbee outside of the fenced playground area.
