Here is a little one that is within a greater park and is very popular with picnickers Crystal Brook Picnic Area https://goo.gl/maps/U54feTMidH92 is within the Cardinia Reservoir Park https://goo.gl/maps/taoviL51NbS2 which is park land set aside on the western side of one of Melbourne’s drinking water supply reservoirs.
The park has always been a popular place, but lately many newer cultures to Australia such as Indians and Sudanese bring their visiting family members to this park because they can see Kangaroos hopping around and there is plenty of space to share.
Like most parks in Australia there are no entry fees, loads of parking, accessible toilets, adventurer playgrounds and plenty of open grass as well as natural bush walking trails.
This particular one also lets you see the infrastructure for the giant dam. You can’t go to the dam itself because it is protected drinking water. The park won’t appear to have many workers around but if you hop that fence expect a very quick visit and a resulting free exciting ride in a police car.
