Step 1
Pick the right park
Use West Melbourne Community Park for the biggest recreation mix, or choose a smaller city park for a quieter stop.

Family parks + easy access to Downtown Melbourne
West Melbourne local guide.
Build a West Melbourne day around the city's parks, splash-pad and skate facilities, then use nearby Downtown Melbourne for the restaurant and nightlife finish.
West Melbourne's strengths are everyday recreation and convenience. West Melbourne Community Park combines a splash pad, skate park, pavilions and other family facilities, while the city maintains several smaller neighborhood parks.
The city sits immediately west of Melbourne, so you do not need to force a nightlife district that is not there. Use West Melbourne for the daytime part of the plan and Downtown Melbourne for a walkable evening.
Put the outing together.
Step 2
Keep lunch close
Stay around Minton Road, New Haven Avenue or Palm Bay Road for an easy mid-day stop.
Step 3
Finish in Downtown Melbourne
Make the short trip east for dinner, a rooftop, live music or theater when you want a more active evening.
