Hansen Reserve

Hansen Reserve sits on Roberts Street at West Footscray, in Melbourne's inner west. A much-loved local park, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, sporting grounds, a playground and walking paths in a welcoming community 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 convenient West Footscray location. It's a beloved spot for families, dog walkers, sports and anyone after some time outdoors close to home in the inner west.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 450 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 checking the surrounds before a special trip — and taking sun protection — though for a walk, a play, a picnic or some time outdoors, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Hansen Reserve at West Footscray.
