Hampton’s journey began in the mid-19th century as an agricultural haven. The suburb has since transformed into a residential sanctuary, preserving its heritage through Victorian and Edwardian architecture.
Hampton’s Parks and Outdoor
Locals find solace in Hampton’s green spaces. Hampton Beach, an iconic destination with its golden sands and serene waters, invites residents and visitors to indulge in leisurely walks and weekend adventures.
The beach foreshore reserves are equipped with playgrounds and barbecue facilities, providing a perfect setting for a family fun day. Meanwhile, the Bay Trail beckons with its scenic bike paths and jogging tracks along the captivating coastline for those seeking a more active lifestyle.
A popular spot that the council spent an absolute fortune to build is the Thomas Street Reserve Playground. It’s worth the walk or drive if you have some young ones that need to burn off some energy. It’s also an excellent place for a picnic. (Photo source: Bayside City Council)
