I recommend this place more Wills St, Kew A hidden gem nestled in the suburb of Kew, nicknamed ‘The Dog Park’ – because whenever you go there you are sure to meet a furry friend. This picnic spot is an escape from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne’s CBD that is located so close that it seems too good to be true.. The scenic view of the Melbourne city skyline is nestled among native trees and bushland of the area, making this spot the perfect location for nature lovers. While you’re there, why not take a carefree stroll down to the Yarra Boulevard? Nearby is the tranquil BellBird Park, another favourite picnic spot that connects to many other scenic trails along the Yarra River.

So I am cycling and I stop in this lookout for a short break. I am about to start again I realise that I got a flat tir. Maybe it was a piece of class. so I call my mate and ask him to pick me up and I wait around 40 minutes and it was epic to have the lookout just next to me. I could say that they were the best 40 minutes of my day

  • Tim Jay

Why haven't I done this before I keep asking myself! Such a good walk, so much to keep your interest. It even goes through Collingwood Farm and past the rapids on Yarra Bend. One minute you're in bushland next you see the city buildings.

This is a really special spot. Amazing for sunsets or star gazing, it’s accessible by car or by a couple of nice bush trails and it gives you great views without having to walk too far if you’ve got young uns or old uns. The hill is quite a ride if you’re a cyclist, worth keeping an eye out if you’re driving through.

  • Najam Saqib

Wurundjeri Spur Abbotsford Loop walking trail: It’s more of a long walk than hiking trail. Trail signage isn’t best and in the last one section is washed away that can put you off the trail but you cannot be lost It’s another gem in urban Melbourne. I highly recommend it.

ONE OF THE MANY AMAZING PUBLIC SPACES IN MELBOURNE This lookout is in inner city Melbourne but when on the track to it you may as well be in the "outback". It's great that Melbourne protects these parks and reserves from development. Its tranquil and relaxing and a fairly easy walk

  • Johnno Page reviews

This is a five minute stop along the road for a quick photo of the city of Melbourne. On this bend is a trail which goes to the city and to the fair field boat house. Their is not much left here but in years gone by this was a very bust place as it’s near the old nut house

  • Jacob Jordan

Visited Melbourne and thought I'd check out one of the local lookouts, unfortunately Melbourne is relatively flat so the view was somewhat underwhelming. Still worth checking out, but now I've seen it I don't think I'll need to visit again

Located just about 500m of M3 off of Chandler Hwy; This is a serene lookout that really does come alive at night; Stunning, sweeping views of the city amidst greenery and isolation. What else could someone ask for.

  • Bianca Ammendola

Im fairly newish to Melbourne and I though it was all flat so this was a nice suprise... a nice local lookout and easy walking trail rather than having to drive all the way out to the Dandenongs for a hill walk.

  • Amr Samir

Well, it’s not only a lookout. It’s a place where you can either walk, run or ride your bike for miles and miles. Fantastic scenery and serene environment. It is the place to go really if you’re after hiking

  • June Magness

Most of the look out points needed a bit of walking.. not for me. If you like great walking tracks ,cycling and motorbike runs a big YES .. lots of curvy roads and hilly terrain. Beautiful. …

  • Antony John

I was in the look out with my girlfriend a bunch of boys they start disturbed us and come near to my car by cover his face it's was too scary it's not a good place to go with family and kids

  • Ana Aguilar

It is a Great view.. we went through ncheck it out, to see if we could come back and view the fireworks for newt years... But there isn't much parking there so we decided against it

  • Gajendra Singh Shekhawat

Feels like small nature reserve. Great place to be at. Driving to lookout is experience in itself, single lane road with nice curves and awesome view. Just 5.5kms from CBD.

  • Julia Rosenthal

Great views of the city, but too many people dump their rubbish here, its a real shame. Otherwise a very nice spot to watch sun rise or set. Rise probably better than set

  • Jamie Kvins

The whole of the park is just an oasis of country smack bang in the middle of Melbourne but this spot is easily accessible for magnificent views of the park and the cbd

  • A G

Nice view of Melbourne CBD. There are a few car spots to stop and enjoy the view. There is also a bridge where you can walk and see the city view and also the highway.

  • Jeff Beatton

Great spot to take in views of the city and to view New Year's fireworks. If coming for New Year's, get there about midday as the good spots always get taken early.

  • Daniel Hall

A lovely view of the city, best experienced at night. Park near the sign, then walk along the road. The path through the trees goes to the Fairfield boathouse.

  • Mohsin Ali

I really liked that place. Melbourne CBD view is awesome. Down the track is little river. Council need to trim the trees from viewpoint for better experience

  • Lexie Palms

What a great place to get a great view of the city. And the road that it's on is a great twisty bike ride.

Good place for street racing in inner city Melbourne, just be careful for nagging cyclists and pedestrians. When they're not around it's a nice bit of road.

  • Ian Andrew

One of my regular stop off points cycling around Melbourne. The view of the skyscrapers across the inner city forest in Kew and Fairfield is a world view.

Not a bad lookout I suppose, you don't get a good vantage point but the scenery is very nice, having the mesh of the city and bush.

Top viewpoint to watch the sunset over the city skyline and shortly after see thousands of flying foxes head out into the suburbs.

  • Maryan Valverde

What can I say! The views, the vibe riding around the boulevard....it's not Hollywood boulevard but it's close ;) Really nice

  • Mighty Jim

It's okay for a stop if you walk up the hill after crossing the pipe bridge. You can see the city through a gap in the trees.

  • Tajinder Singh

The city view is now hindered by the tall bushes but the walk is still pleasant and you can spot some beautiful birds

  • rahul g
