Harleston Park

Harleston Park is a quiet suburban park with a large playground area renowned for having the ‘longest slide in Glen Eira’. There are facilities for BBQs and small gatherings, as well as open spaces filled with large historic trees, making it an immensely popular Park amongst the Elsternwick community.

Harleston Park is named after the birthplace of Sir Fredrick Grimwade who built Grimwade House, formerly Harleston House, in 1875.

The playground at Harleston Park features a large and long slide that sits atop a natural hill. It also includes:
