This guide is for people who live, work or commute through Moonee Ponds, and for neighbours in Essendon, Ascot Vale, Aberfeldie, Strathmore and Maribyrnong who want a supplement store close to home. Supps247 Moonee Ponds is on Pratt Street in the heart of the local shopping area. Below you will find what is around it, where locals train, and how to order when you cannot get in.
You can shop with us in two ways: drop into the store on your way past, or order on the website and have it delivered to your door.
Dropping in on Pratt Street
The store is at 23 Pratt St, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039, a short walk from Puckle Street, the suburb's main strip of shops and cafes. Moonee Ponds station sits at the western end of Puckle Street on the Craigieburn line, so the store is an easy stop for anyone travelling between the city and the northern suburbs.
Four things worth doing while you are here:
- Bring your current tub. The team will put its label next to what is on the shelf, covering protein per serve, added ingredients and price per serve.
- Look at several brands at once before you commit to a large bag.
- Ask about flavours and how easily a powder mixes, which matters if you shake it up at your desk or on the train.
- If you are a Supps247 member, ask about price matching an identical product from a listed competitor.
Opening hours, phone and directions are on the Moonee Ponds store page.

Where Moonee Ponds trains
You do not need a gym membership to stay active around here. These public spots are well used by locals, each with a quick, honest note on what actually helps.
- Queens Park. Bounded by Mt Alexander Road, The Strand, Pascoe Vale Road and Kellaway Avenue, the park has a sealed path around its lake that works for an easy walk or a few jogging laps. It is also where the Burke and Wills expedition camped in 1860. For a gentle walk, water is all most people need.
- Moonee Ponds Creek Trail. This shared path runs about 25 km from Docklands up to Woodlands Historic Park, passing through Essendon on the way. Upgrades are planned for a stretch through Strathmore and Pascoe Vale, so watch for changes. Riders and runners heading out for an hour or longer should plan fluids, and an electrolyte mix can help on hot days.
- Maribyrnong parkrun. A free, timed 5 km event every Saturday morning, starting at Burton Crescent and Raleigh Road in Maribyrnong. The course is flat and runs out and back along the Maribyrnong River past Pipemakers Park. Water and a normal breakfast cover most people for 5 km.
- Maribyrnong River Trail. For longer runs or rides, this trail follows the river for about 25 km between Brimbank Park and Footscray Road, through Essendon West and Maribyrnong. Longer sessions are where carbohydrate, fluids and electrolytes start to matter.
- Ascot Vale Leisure Centre. Moonee Valley's leisure centre on the corner of Langs and Epsom Roads has a 25 m lap pool, a warm-water pool, a gym and a cycle studio. Swimmers and gym regulars often ask us about protein to reach their daily target and creatine for strength work.
What people in 3039 tend to ask for
| If you are | People often start with |
|---|---|
| Commuting and short on time for breakfast | A whey isolate or plant protein that mixes easily with water. See our whey protein isolate guide. |
| Lifting two or more times a week | Creatine monohydrate, one of the most researched sports supplements. See the creatine guide. |
| Training early before work | A pre-workout with a caffeine dose you know you handle well. See the pre-workout guide. |
| Running the creek or river trails in summer | An electrolyte mix for longer or hotter sessions. |
| Covering the basics | A multivitamin, vitamin D or magnesium. |
Food comes first, and supplements are there to fill gaps rather than replace meals. Teenagers, anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and people taking medication or living with a medical condition should speak to a GP or pharmacist before trying something new. If you play club sport under anti-doping rules, check with your sport first.

Moonee Ponds questions, answered
Where can I buy creatine in Moonee Ponds?
Supps247 Moonee Ponds at 23 Pratt St stocks creatine, and the team can show you how scoop sizes differ between tubs, so you know roughly how long one will last. Most creatine is plain monohydrate, so comparing labels usually comes down to serve size and price per serve. You can also order creatine online and have it delivered anywhere in Australia.
Is there a supplement store near Essendon or Ascot Vale?
Yes. Supps247 Moonee Ponds is a short trip from Essendon, Ascot Vale, Aberfeldie and Strathmore, in the shopping area around Puckle Street. It is handy if you already come into Moonee Ponds for the station, the shops or Queens Park. For other locations across Melbourne, the Supps247 store finder lists every store with its address and its own page.
Do you deliver to Moonee Ponds 3039?
Yes. We deliver to Moonee Ponds 3039, the neighbouring suburbs and the rest of Australia. Most orders arrive in 2 to 8 business days, and shipping is free on orders of $99.99 or more. You can pay with Afterpay at checkout, and delivery to a work address is fine if nobody is home during the day.
What should I have before Maribyrnong parkrun?
For a 5 km run, most people do not need any supplement. A light breakfast you know sits well, such as toast or a banana, plus water is plenty. If you like caffeine, a coffee works for many runners, so there is no need for a strong pre-workout. Afterwards, a meal with some protein, or a shake if you are rushing to work, rounds things off.
Can I get to Supps247 Moonee Ponds by train?
Yes. Moonee Ponds station is on the Craigieburn line at the western end of Puckle Street, and Pratt Street is in the same shopping area, so you can walk from the platform. That makes the store an easy stop on the way home for commuters coming from the city or the northern suburbs. Directions from the station are on our store page.
