J.L Murphy Reserve

J.L. Murphy Reserve is one of Port Melbourne’s most substantial green spaces, located along Williamstown Road in the Fishermans Bend precinct. It’s a practical and well-maintained reserve used daily by local sports clubs, families, and residents looking for space to move.

There are two full-sized ovals, a baseball field, netball and basketball courts, and a children’s playground with BBQs and shaded seating nearby. The Dig In community garden sits in the southeast corner, offering a quiet contrast to the sports grounds.

Across the road, you’ll find Woolworths Fishermans Bend and Dusty Fox Café—handy for coffee, groceries or a bite to eat before or after a visit.

Public transport: bus routes 232, 235, 238 & 606 stop along Williamstown Road; generous street and off‑street parking available
