Correction (10 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 on 9 October 2026.

This page answers which Wollert parks have a playground, a barbecue or some bushland. Six parks are covered, all inside Wollert, and each one is described using the City of Whittlesea’s own park pages.

Every park was checked against OpenStreetMap and a council page. The council prints street numbers with a letter suffix, and we show them as printed. The council pages give no walking distances, grades or surfaces, so none are stated here.

Bellavista Park — 1W Bellavista Drive, Wollert VIC 3750

The council says this suburban park features two playgrounds and seating. It also says the park includes a conservation area with a stony knoll and vegetation that provides habitat for woodland birds. According to the council, a shared path network connects the park to surrounding parks and reserves, including Allumba Park and Conservation Area and Bulait Park and Conservation Area.

Distance / grade / surface: The council page gives none of the three, so we cannot state a loop length; it says only that a shared path network links the park to nearby reserves.

Thyme Park — 66W Anzac Drive, Wollert VIC 3750

The council says this suburban park has a playground and a barbecue. It adds that a large area of the park is managed for conservation, and that walking around the conservation area you will see drystone walls and remnant stony knolls. The council also places Findon Creek just east of the park.

Turn-around point: The council names no set route, so Findon Creek, which it places just east of the park, is a landmark to orient by rather than a marked end point.

Northside Park — 2W Raychelsbury Parade, Wollert VIC 3750

The council describes Northside Park as a suburban park with a playground and two barbecues. Its page does not mention toilets or parking.

Water and toilets: The council page does not list toilets for Northside Park, and we did not record whether it has a drinking fountain, so bring your own water.

Courances Park — 22W Huntington Tce, Wollert VIC 3750

The council says this suburban park has a playground, two barbecues and a small open space for outdoor activities. That pairing of barbecues with open space is what sets it apart from the other barbecue parks on this page. Toilets are not mentioned on the council page.

Weather call: Check the Bureau of Meteorology forecast for wind and rain before heading out, and do not count on cover: the council does not say how much the park’s structures give.

Kendon Park — 1240W Edgars Road, Wollert VIC 3750

The council says this suburban park has a playground, a rotunda, a drinking fountain and seating. A rotunda is a roofed, open-sided structure, so it is a place to sit out a passing shower, though the council does not say how much cover it gives. The photo above is illustrative and does not show this park.

Water and toilets: The council lists a drinking fountain at Kendon Park and does not list toilets.

Steadman Park — 1W Steadman Way, Wollert VIC 3750

The council describes Steadman Park as a suburban park with two playgrounds. No barbecue or conservation area is listed on its page, so it reads as the simplest stop of the six.

Start at: Steadman Way, the street the council lists for the park; the page names no entrance or car park.
