Where

Caulfield Park is Glen Eira’s largest park and, understandably, also the most popular. Its design reflects the history of the park, and its diverse array of facilities support its status as a major hub for a plethora of activities within Glen Eira.

Caulfield Park features:

  • three playgrounds
  • seven sports ovals
  • three pavilions (including community rooms for hire)
  • sports training facilities
  • outdoor fitness equipment
  • public toilets
  • chess tables
  • extensive amounts of open space
  • a relaxing lake with resident feathery friends

The Hawthorn and Balaclava Road corner of the park features a series of bronze statues titled The Paper Boy, Mother and Child and Climbing Boys. Completed by sculptor Phillip J Cannizzo in 1980, there’s a rumour that one of the statues is dedicated to a paper boy who was killed on the corner.
