The park was designed to incorporate a large artificial lake as a local drainage and aesthetic catchment area.
It serves as a key stopover on the wider Melton Council green corridor trail network.
The park land covers approximately 12 hectares in total area.
Navan Park features a specific dog-off-leash area distinct from the primary playground zone.
Navan Park Playground is a primary recreational hub in Melton West featuring extensive play equipment, walking trails, and significant water features. The park centers around a large, man-made ornamental lake that serves as a focal point for the surrounding 12-hectare site. Play facilities include multi-age climbing structures, slides, and expansive open lawns suitable for group activities. The grounds are connected by a network of sealed paths that link the playground to the wider Melton trail system. Picnic infrastructure is integrated throughout the site, including sheltered tables and communal barbecue facilities. Mature gum trees provide natural canopy cover across several sections of the parkland. The park is managed by the City of Melton council and functions as a primary destination for local community outdoor exercise and family gatherings.

Bring a picnic blanket as shaded tables can be occupied during peak weekend periods.
The path circuit is ideal for strollers or light cycling, spanning the entire lake perimeter.
Check local weather for wind conditions, as the open layout around the lake can be exposed.
Visiting during extreme heat days as there is limited shade directly over the play equipment itself.
Keep dogs on a leash unless in designated zones; utilize provided bins to preserve local wildlife habitats.
