Correction (9 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
This page answers where the playgrounds and reserves are in Rowville. It lists five council-listed parks, all inside Rowville, with locations as Knox Council and OpenStreetMap record them.
We checked each against two independent sources. Those sources publish no route distances, grades or surfaces for these reserves, so we give none, and we say not stated for toilets, BBQs and dogs unless a council page names them.
One caution: Knox says some equipment at the Stud Park playground was not available at last check, so read that section before you go.

Stud Park Reserve (Stud Park playground) — 40 Fulham Road, Rowville VIC 3178
Knox lists the Stud Park playground at Stud Park Reserve, 40 Fulham Road, east of Rowville Community Centre. Its playgrounds page says “Some equipment at Stud Park playground is currently not available”, and another Knox passage says cleanup works are complete and the playground is “now reopened”, with damaged equipment removed and replaced with softfall. The same council text says the rear area, “including the flying fox and swings, is still available”, and that shelters, BBQ, swings, spinners, trampoline and sandpit would soon be reopened, so at last check some equipment was still out of use. Knox also names it among its accessible playgrounds, lists Stud Park Reserve for outdoor exercise equipment, and records a 2021 shelter mural by Hayden Dewar at the Stud Park Reserve tennis shelter.
Water and toilets: Not stated in the Knox text we checked, so confirm on the council page before you go.
Arcadia Reserve — Between Turramurra Drive and Taylors Lane, Rowville VIC 3178
Knox lists Arcadia Reserve between Turramurra Drive and Taylors Lane, and its playground list includes it. Knox also names Arcadia Reserve among the places with outdoor exercise equipment. Wikipedia says Rowville Heights was established near Arcadia Reserve, which helps place it on a map. We could not match it to a named object in OpenStreetMap, so the council’s street description is the location to go by.
Start at: Use Turramurra Drive and Taylors Lane from the council listing as your map pins.
Eildon Park — 69 Eildon Parade, Rowville VIC 3178
Knox lists two playgrounds on Eildon Parade, Eildon Park (East) and Eildon Park (West). The address 69 Eildon Parade is the council entry for Eildon Park Tennis Club, so that is the tennis courts’ address rather than a playground gate. Knox lists the courts under the club, so ask the club about bookings before you plan a hit. OpenStreetMap tags the area as a park.
Turn-around point: None published, because this is a pair of playgrounds and a club, not a route.
Streeton Reserve — 8 Streeton Court, Rowville VIC 3178
Knox lists the playground as Streeton Court Reserve, 8 Streeton Court, while OpenStreetMap calls the park Streeton Reserve, so search under either name. OpenStreetMap’s playground tag, which is the only source for this, says “Suitable for young children, Swings, Slide” and names Knox City Council as operator. We could not find council text on toilets, BBQs or shade here.
Weather call: Check the Bureau forecast before you go, as the sources say nothing about shelter.
Deschamp Reserve — Between Deschamp Crescent and Denver Crescent, Rowville VIC 3178
Knox lists Deschamp Crescent Reserve between Deschamp Crescent and Denver Crescent, while OpenStreetMap names the park Deschamp Reserve and maps a separate Denver Crescent Playground. By street names they point to the same spot. The sources say nothing about equipment, toilets or dogs, so treat this as a location to confirm, not a facility list.
Distance / grade / surface: Not published, because the sources describe a reserve, not a route.
