This is accessible from a small carpark at the western end of the Esplanade.
It has a barbeque/picnic area, a walking/cycling trail that leads to Laverton Creek Bridge and Truganina Park and large open grass areas which are favourite spots with dog walkers.
There is a proposal to improve this park, with plans to build a playground, to plant Norfolk Island Pines, to establish a grassed rigging-up area for wind/kite surfers, etc.
Here is a YouTube video on traction kiting, landboarding and buggying at Apex Park.
If you are walking towards the Esplanade on the foot trail, there is one particular section where you get a very good view of Melbourne CBD, which appears like a glistening island of skyscrapers in the horizon.
During a Saturday or Sunday, if you drive past the Park on Queen St, you may see a van selling boxes of fruits or flowers there, with its roadside advertising signage, reminiscent of what you see in a countryside, village or tourist road and not what you will expect in metropolitan Melbourne.
