Quarries Park

Quarries Park sits on Ramsden Street at Clifton Hill, in Melbourne's inner north near Collingwood. A much-loved local park, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, walking and cycling paths, sporting areas and natural surrounds with a relaxed setting near the Merri Creek, the kind of pleasant, family-friendly park that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of open green space and great amenity: room to walk, cycle, picnic and relax, with the Merri Creek trail close by and natural surrounds adding to the appeal. It's a beloved spot for families, dog walkers, runners and anyone after a stroll, a ride or some time outdoors in the inner north.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 340 reviews, it's clearly a well-loved community space. The park is free and open, but facilities 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 ride, a picnic or some time outdoors, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Quarries Park at Clifton Hill.
