Rules about burning off
Welcome to Alistair Knox Park, first developed as Eltham Town Park in 1975. It was renamed in 1999 after local designer and builder, Alistair Knox, best known for his use of mud bricks.
The park contains a wonderful display of bush gardening, sustainable building practices and a beautiful wetlands pond. It has been classified by the National Trust of Australia.
Much of the equipment at the park has been left plain, with rustic timbers exposed to fit in with the natural bushland surroundings. The park has climbing equipment of various sizes to accommodate for a range of abilities. There are slides, rings, swings, bridges and rockers. Several artistic sculptures also appear within the park, as well as a section of the Heidelberg School Artist's Trail.
The current toilet block will be decommissioned on 14 April 2025. Temporary toilets will be available until the new toilet block opens. Find out more about this project.
