Oldis Park

Northcote

Situated between a busy suburban street and Merri Creek, Oldis Park is a quiet established park that offers a haven for locals. Unfortunately the fountain had been marred by vandals before our visit.

The park is named for a local politician, and the main gates display his identity proudly.

An established suburban park, Oldis Park has a graceful lawn and established trees. It also sits beside the local football/cricket ground, so parking during football season is difficult. (Football fans here park in private driveways and parking lots with no regard to others).

Lying beside busy Westgarth Street, Northcote, the park is a haven for local residents, providing a view of the Merri Creek.
