Lots of land to roam around. Can enter at Grffin Park and proceed onto Swansea Plain which will take you all the to Templstowe, well over a 10k walk. Not many people, a few dogs but mainly nobody around. The walk through to Swansea Plains is a mixture of hills and then trails for Single file. A bit muddy in places but did encountered only marginally slippery slopes at times.
Restrooms
Could be cleaner but did have toilet paper, lockable doors
Dog-friendliness
Plenty of space outside of the actual dog park arena. Can let dogs off leash but be vigilant if your dog not that friendly to others

Great spot, secluded but very large area for your dog to have a good exercise. Easy to lose your dog if they don’t recall. Access to river to view or fish. Some nice we’ll grassed spots for a picnic (no facilities). Good part of it is all terrain wheelchair compatible. Path pictured extends along river for longer walks but is used by walkers, mountain bike riders etc so consider retaining on leash.

Ultimate place for a quiet BBQ amongst the gumtrees. It's remarkable how remote you feel out there yet just a 2 minute drive and your back in suburbia... the river is a great spot to wet the line and try your luck at hooking up an elusive Murray Cod. It has great parking facilities and is well maintained. No toilets however... All in all, great spot for all ages. Highly recommended.

Great area to take your dog for a leisurely walk. Small paths so it feels more like an adventure through the bush, even thought it is basically in people's backyards. Paths can get a bit overgrown and change as trees fall down so paths are just walked around certain areas. It can be a bit slippery in wet weather.

A beautiful part of Melbourne's North East suburb of Eltham with the Yarra River flowing beside the reserve. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon stroll, or a romantic pic nic. Dog friendly with on and off leash areas. A hidden gem in Eltham.

A beautiful walking track and a nice place to take the family and dogs. The walking track can get narrow so make sure you're wearing appropriate footwear. The track isn't suitable for disabled access but the general picnic area is suitable.

Whether you are looking to go for a walk, a swim in the river or just have day out on a picnic rug, this is a nice spot. This park is getting super busy now especially on warm days with everyone - families, backpackers, young couples and

Such a beautiful and easily accesable river, no large rocks to stab you and the ground in the water is soft from mud. The rapids are lots of fun and only as dangerous as you want them to be, so very safe overall

A great place for a walk with the yarra for company its a very pleasant stroll the walking path isn't allways easy as the rain can make it quite slippy but my 82 year old dad still walks it .

Fantastic trails close to the yarra river with 2 fantastic man built wooden pathways. Weekdays should be preferred,too many bike riders and joggers there on the weekends.

Towering eucalypts, the river and the sounds of birdlife...tranquility. Nice walk from here to Sweeneys Flat. Can get busy in the warmer months but usually pretty quiet.

My private safe happy place I feel very protective of ... Do not let me catch you random visitors littering or lighting fires here thank you ❤️☮️ …

Nice entry to the river track amidst the big old pines. Popular with dogs and their owners. Attempt with care after rain as the track can be rather slippery.

Nice park on the banks of the Yarra. No facilities at all though. Good off leash area for dogs but be keep an eye out as there are some large snakes about.

Favourite place to go for a lovely walk along the river. Also a great picnic and swimming spot in summer! My dog and I love it …

A charming park to walk either with dogs or friends. Lovely to have the river on both sides. One of my favourite places.

Part of the Mullum Trail. Stopped here for the nature life..spotted an Echidna, Kangaroos and many native bird species.

Beautiful part of Eltham. The walk from Griffith Park to Sweeneys Flats is a gorgeous stretch of natural river land.

Great walk along the river
Playground
No playground
Dog-friendliness
Some off leash areas in the park.

Nice view of the yarra. Small park for picnics. Good for bringing family and dogs can enjoy playing in the water.

Great place for a photography session. Just be careful where you step with it being a dog "off leash" park.

What a beautiful place ,great walking tracks, however their needs to be more track times to and back.

Gem of a spot for a swim or to relax and read a book. Pretty secluded and quiet when we went.

Little known part of the yarra river, hard to find, tranquil, peaceful and great hike …

Nice spot for a dip.....and a few cheeky cans if you take the empties back home with you!

What a gorgeous place to go for a relaxing walk!!! The sound of the river is just amazing

Off leash area for dogs and access to Yarra if they swim. Beware of anglers and snakes

If you love walking, then this is the place. Some gravel paths but overall very good.

Great place to walk dogs. The river is also great for a quick dip on a hot day

Very muddy. Appears as a bicycle track on Nillumbik walking map, no surfacing.

Small park good for dog short dog exercise but is beside road and bike track

It's such a nice place to see the river. I wish there were benches though.
