Ferndale Park has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 based on over 291 reviews on Google
Nice park land with a good playground and a large oval for kids and dogs to run around. Close parking too. Park is connected to a series of other parks so you can go for a nice long walk. Heaps of dogs and runners and cyclists though so it can get very busy. Cafe right across the road has decent coffee and an outdoor seating area. Overall lovely area to visit. Look forward to next time.
Nice footy oval in the green parklands. There is something for everyone here. If you have little kids their is a playground, a cafe opposite or a running track if you are that way inclined. The only issue is the oval itself is quite small and the manual scoreboard is a bit old school. But a nice ground nonetheless.
If you're of out of choices, and thinking about which park to go to, Ferndale park is the one for you. It has got expansive grounds, excellent childrens playground, huge oval, AFL goal posts, cricket nets, turf cricket pitch, massive parking, public transport access, public toilets, bike trail and an amazing cafe right next to it. It also is only 300 metres from and amazing BMX park called Hill 'n' Dale park. The playground is full of fun activities for people of all ages and abilities.There is also the Glen Iris Scout club there. Overall, Ferndale park is a great park where you can spend a few hours with the whole family or plan a picnic.
Ferndale Park is quite large with a sporting oval, and shared walking and cycling tracks (Ferndale Trail), as well as a kids playground. It also has some, but limited, seating and public toilets. There are some good cafes like the Pantry and Has Been close nearby on Glen Iris Road. The park is home to St Marys Salesian Amateur Football Club, Ashburton Willows Cricket Club and Ashburton Junior Football Club and it gets quite busy when there's a home game on. The main problem at this park is that parking is very limited.
