Jells Park

Schöner Park zum Spazieren, radahren oder inline skating. Barbecue sind verfügbar um ein Picknick mit der Familie zu haben.
In «Madeline» Restaurant im Park lässt sichs gut genießen. Essen selber habe ich noch nicht getestet.

Anyone who knows me would know I don’t really do outdoorsy action stuff. However, if you’re being a supportive friend and willing to meet halfway for a walk in the park so friend can get out of the house and take baby for a safe outing, Jell’s Park is a nice urban park with scones on offer in café. Win for all involved.

I’ve had so many lovely times here. There’s just so much to see and experience. Even if I’ve just gone for a walk I know there’s something I’ll find.
Best memories? How about driving 15kph through the dark and pouring rain, having to go ever so slowly so that I didn’t hit any of the cute little frogs hopping across the road. Or the time I went to that amazing playground with my friends and we played an epic game of tiggy (yes, we were 18, so there had to be extra complicated rules). Or maybe any of the thousand or so Carols By Candlelights I’ve been to.
We’re so lucky to have a park like this just a 20(ish) minute drive from the CBD — I’m quite glad it’s underappreciated else some of its peace might be lost.

This is a wonderful and quaint park that has so much to offer. In the main area, there is the ‘jells park tea house’, a lovely little café where you can sit and enjoy the surroundings. There is a large wooden playground for kids, plenty of trails and routes to accommodate for the frequent runners and bikers, ovals and barbecues (these run high in demand on sunny weekends).
Jells park isn’t crowded or overpopulated, but there are enough people around to give it a sense of a community. The park is more of a wetlands/​bush land style park compared to a botanical type.
I love coming here as it has a vibe of happiness to it, there are always children running around, couples biking and dog walkers. Jells Park is very large and you probably could get lost in it (but if you just follow any path it’ll take you back out). If you’re in the local area, pop down for a bbq and enjoy.

Jells Park is an extremely popular place to go of a weekend. It offers plenty of natural bushland, over nine kilometres of tracks and paths, a couple of playgrounds, and heaps of space for you to have picnics or kick the footy with the kids.
There’s fishing on the side of the lake that is outside of the conservation area, but I hope you like carp! There’s the occasional redfin, but they seem like the exception and not the rule, particularly if your experience is anything like mine.
The barbecue facilities are pretty good, if sometimes quite busy. In some spots, you’ll find free electric barbecues, in others, you’ll find wood-​burning barbecues. Wood is usually provided, which is a plus. Just remember to take out everything you take in. No rubbish should ever be left there.
