Park Suggestions for DD's 1st Birthday

[Prinnyboo]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a nice park in Melbourne (North & East) for my DD's 1st birthday. I would like an area that has a wet weather option - ie rotunda. I liked the look of Alexander Gardens in Kew but they do not permit alcohol! Does anyone have any suggestions for a park where I can reserve a section, and permits alcohol. Doesn't really need a BBQ area as I am thinking of getting it catered - any ideas would be great!

Hay's Paddock in Kew is great, and is fenced off so makes it easier to keep track of the little ones. No idea about permits etc though.

I'm not sure if you can reserve the area, but Jells Park in Wheelers Hill has a big undercover area really close to one of the play areas. I went there a few weeks ago and someone had decorated it in balloons, etc. for a party. It is quite large and would fit a lot of people. I have no idea whether alcohol is permitted or not though.

Good luck finding a venue!
