Monarch Park in Hillcrest is a free outdoor destination with extensive playground equipment for all ages, shade sails, a nature playground, forest walk, mushroom tables, and a formed pathway network. Pram access throughout.
WOWa!!! Now THIS is the sort of park every hood should have. This place just keeps on giving 🤩 From the formed pathways, to the stormwater planning (the reason the park exists) to the greenspace, to the playground, to the book library, to the public toilet to the educational signs and spaces telling about local flora and fauna. This is a multi tiered park with many reasons to go. Local council, if you’re listening, a BBQ facility or two would transform this park to another level. 🌿👀👋🌿 if you like our review, please, press follow on our google profile so you can catch our next awesome reviews.
