Fenced playground in the Dandenong Ranges foothills with a dedicated skate park, BBQ facilities, and public toilets. Popular with families arriving via Puffing Billy Railway, adding a train-themed bonus for young kids.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families combining a Puffing Billy trip with outdoor play time. The fencing is a genuine asset for toddlers, and the skate park keeps older kids busy. Works well as a half-day excursion from Melbourne south-east.

Overview
Rob Perkins Memorial Playground sits in Gembrook surrounded by the Dandenong Ranges bushland. The fenced play area keeps young kids contained, and the adjacent skate park gives older children their own space. Public toilets and BBQ facilities mean families can make a proper afternoon of it. Puffing Billy Gembrook terminus is nearby, making this a natural stop on a steam-train day out.
