Reviews of Brickmakers Park
"A nice quiet area despite being surrounded by office spaces. Its got a big oval and a running track. A playground and barbecue place. A small pond and a few walking bridges. Good for a 30 min break. Its got a brick making machinery to see(not functional of course)."
"Lovely park with a small pond, BBQ facilities and playground. No off leash area for dogs."
"Interesting playground with a quirky feel, BBQ facilities are pretty good with undercover seating area. Great for young kids birthdays, family get togethers or a Sunday lunch. Toilet facilities (note they close at around 6pm), Half basketball court, a peaceful garden. Oakleigh recreation centre is only 50m walk up the path where in the summer Oakleigh swimming pool is open, gym, basketball courts, Waverley gymnastics centre (currently being built). From parts of the Scotchman creek trail signage indicating where places are could be improved particularly from Scotchman's Run reserve. The park hence the name was a Brickmaking facility (Oakleigh Brick Co.) It started making bricks in 1885 and ended in 1985. It is also a Monash heritage site where some equipment still remains. Overall great place and very peaceful and quiet."
"I like it. It's compact, but has a lovely pond surrounded by a pretty and well looked after garden area, a playground, BBQ, some parking, amenities, some brickwork-themed features, and a few paths. It's not a walkers' park as such, but you can head out either side along Scotchman's Creek trails and have a longer amble if that's your thing. For a small, suburban oasis, I'm a fan."
"Nice place to bring kids. Bins provided. Parking available. Bbq facilities available. Perfect for a picnic with kids or if you are having an evening walk. There is a small ground as well. Dogs are not allowed though."
