Why it's worth checking out

Anderson Park sits on Anderson Road at Hawthorn East, a leafy, established inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne. A much-loved local park, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, mature trees, sporting grounds, a playground and walking paths in a welcoming setting, the kind of versatile, family-friendly park that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of open green space and great amenity: room to walk, play, picnic and relax, with sporting facilities and a playground, all in a leafy Hawthorn East location. It's a beloved spot for families, dog walkers, sport and anyone after some time outdoors in the inner east.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 330 reviews, it's clearly a well-loved community space. The park is free and open, but facilities, sporting grounds and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a walk, a play, a picnic or some time outdoors, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Anderson Park at Hawthorn East.
