Bayswater's recreational hub is the 16.5-hectare Marie Wallace Bayswater Park, bounded by Mountain Highway, Bayswater Road and Dandenong Creek, offering playgrounds and open lawns, alongside the smaller Guy Turner Reserve and the Dorset Road Linear Reserve. The Dandenong Creek Trail provides walking and cycling connections through the suburb, and the Mountain High Shopping Centre — which also houses the local library — is the main day-to-day retail hub.

Major Employment Hubs: the Bayswater/Bayswater North industrial precinct is a Regionally Significant Industrial Precinct and the second-largest employment area in Melbourne's Eastern Metro Region, spanning around 735 hectares and supporting an estimated 1,873 businesses and 35,500 jobs, including corporate campus tenants at the Mountain Highway Business Park. Commercial Centres: the Mountain High Shopping Centre is the suburb's main retail centre.

Knox City Council has secured Victorian Government funding to support the Bayswater retail precinct, aimed at highlighting the area's business diversity and attracting more visitors, alongside council-led road renewal works such as Sasses Avenue and proposed upgrades to the Guy Turner Reserve and Marie Wallace Oval cricket training facilities. The Mountain Highway and Scoresby Road level crossings were previously removed in 2016–17 as part of a $177 million project that also rebuilt Bayswater station. No further major projects beyond those noted above are currently confirmed for Bayswater.
