Macleay Park

Macleay Park is an urban park in Balwyn North that spans a valley with Glass Creek running through it, offering multiple sports fields, walking paths, and areas of natural vegetation. The grounds combine open green spaces with dedicated sports facilities for various activities.

The land was acquired by Camberwell City Council in 1923 and initially named Myrtle Park before taking its current name. The first sports pavilion was constructed in 1962, marking the beginning of the facilities seen today.

Local sports clubs have made this park their home for decades, with football, cricket, and baseball teams using the grounds regularly throughout the seasons.

The park is accessible from two sides via Belmore Road and Gildan Street, making entry straightforward from either direction. Bus routes 302 and 304 stop nearby, providing easy access by public transport.

The site holds special importance for the local sports community by bringing together multiple sports disciplines in one location. This makes it a central meeting point for various clubs and teams across the region.
