The City of Port Phillip offers many great locations to pop down a rug and feast on some treats from local businesses.
Try out Catani Gardens where historic boulevards of Canary Island palms trees line the walking paths, while nearby Fitzroy Street offers abundant eating options and the Acland Street precinct is a short walk or tram ride away.
Or try Garden City Reserve, one of the largest recreational parks in Port Melbourne. It can accommodate a range of activities including cycling, soccer, dog walking, trugo games, picnics and adventurous play in the playground. An extensive shared path network facilitates easy passage across the reserve.
