Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Looking for a weekend plan in Oakleigh? Here are six, all with an Oakleigh address. Prices come first, in the table, so you can see what each one lists before you commit. Where a place prints no price, we say so rather than guess.
Weekend hours are the thing people get wrong, so each entry says whose listing the hours come from. Where we found no hours, we leave them out. The Warrawee Park music event is not on this weekend, and the entry says when the council lists the next one.

Oakleigh Carnegie RSL and Community Club (Oakleigh Music Hall) — 95-97 Drummond Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
The club’s own site lists a Members Bar, Bistro, Beer Garden and Memorial Hall, and says it has a fantastic line up of a diverse range of great bands and musicians. Gigs are ticketed events in the Oakleigh Music Hall, with the price shown beneath the title on the event listing. The site describes the club as family friendly and community focused since 1922, and says it is licensed only, with no gaming.
The club’s opening-hours page lists Thursday to Sunday from 12pm to close. The site says the bistro is open for lunch and dinner from Thursday to Saturday, and for lunch on Sunday.
Plan it: Open the event listing for the gig you want and read its status first, because the site marked one gig listed for 3 October, Groove Dimension, as EVENT CANCELLED.
Oakleigh Market — 12-18 Chester Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
Oakleigh Market is an indoor food market. The Only Melbourne directory describes it as open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and lists the hours as Wed 7am-4pm, Thu 7am-6pm, Fri 7am-6pm and Sat 7am-1.30pm. That listing is undated, so confirm the times before a Saturday trip. For the weekend, Saturday is the market day: it is not open on Sundays on that listing.
The directory lists fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, delicatessen, bread, nuts, gifts and watch repairs, and says there is free on-site customer parking. The market runs between Chester and Portman streets. We found no price list, which is normal for a market where each stall sets its own.
Rain backup: The market is indoors, according to the directory’s description of it as an indoor food market.
Oakleigh Recreation Centre (Active Monash) — 2A Park Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166
The council-run centre lists a health club with group fitness classes, including Reformer Pilates and Cycle, plus individual gym equipment and a cafe. Active Monash lists weekend hours of Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 6pm, and Monday to Friday from 6am to 9pm.
The aquatic facilities are the catch. Active Monash says they are seasonal and open from November to March each year, so the 50m lap pool, dive pool, multi-purpose pool and toddler splash pool sit outside that window now. Its price page puts the adult swim admission at $9.00 and a non-swim visit at $2.50 for when the season starts. Adult casual gym admission is $23.20, adult casual group fitness is $23.20 and adult stadium casual access is $6.00, and Active Monash’s membership page says there is no joining fee. Concession rates exist, so check the page if you qualify.
Listed prices (copied from activemonash.vic.gov.au on 3 October 2026):
- Swim Admission Prices: Adult: $9.00
- Gym Admission Prices: Adult: $23.20
- Group Fitness Casual Admission Prices: Adult: $23.20
- Stadium Casual Access Prices: Adult: $6.00
Rain backup: Active Monash lists the health club, group fitness classes and gym equipment, all of which are indoor activities.
Oakleigh Bowling Club — 87-93 Drummond Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
The club’s own site invites visitors to find out more about hiring the club for a function, barefoot bowls with friends, membership, sponsorship opportunities or its community involvement. For a barefoot bowls booking, the site’s contact page names a contact person and number.
We found no hours or prices on the pages we read on 2 and 3 October, so we are not stating either. Ask before you turn up.
Plan it: Use the contact page on the club’s site to ask about barefoot bowls for your group, including what it costs and which days suit.
Oakleigh Indoor Sports and Inflatable World — 4 Railway Avenue, Oakleigh VIC 3166
The venue’s site describes Inflatable World Oakleigh as the perfect weekend and school holiday entertainment spot for kids of all ages. It also lists indoor soccer, indoor cricket, indoor netball and indoor beach volleyball.
The pricing page prints an entry fee table with the $20.00 column under 5 years and over; the table also has columns for 4 years and under and for spectators. Read the table on the page for those, since we are only quoting the 5-and-over fee.
Listed prices (copied from inflatableworldoz.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Entry Fee: 5 years and over: $20.00
Plan it: Read the pricing page for the 4-years-and-under and spectator columns before you go, and check the venue’s site for term and holiday hours, which the pricing page links to rather than prints.
Warrawee Park — 99 Drummond Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
The council describes Warrawee Park’s playspace as a wonderland for children of all ages and abilities, with a mini maze, a carousel, a climbing tower with a high slide, swings, an accessible tunnelling climbing structure with a slide, and an area for ball games. The park also has a pavilion, walking track and oval, per the council. We found no entry price on the council page, and it does not list toilets or a BBQ.
The council also runs Live at Warrawee here, which it calls an event for the whole family with chilled picnic vibes and a range of musical genres. It is not this weekend: the next date the council lists is Saturday, 13 February 2027, with line-up and ticketing to be released soon. The council says the event allows for some food trucks, with Oakleigh’s renowned Eaton Mall located right across the road.
Plan it: Save the Live at Warrawee date in your diary and check the council’s event page for ticket details, since the council has not published them.
