Monash Oval Playground

Honestly, it’s pretty bare-bones out here — just a big open grass oval, but sometimes that’s exactly what you need. Kids who’ve been cooped up all day will make the most of the space, whether that’s a kick of the footy, running laps, or just tearing around with no particular purpose. It’s the kind of spot locals know about but you won’t find buses pulling up. Bring your own ball and maybe a blanket if you’re planning to stick around.
