One of a long series of linked paths and reserves that make up this section of the Main Yarra Trail bike and pedestrian pathway. Road access as well as bike, plenty of large open areas great for exercise or just checking out the river. Children's play equipment, access to either side of the river.

  • Danny Bearzatto

Great open space near the river, heaps of trails to run and space for ball games. The park equipment is getting a bit old but the kids still love it. There is a playground for little kids as well as a bigger kids, with three slides overall and heads of things to climb.

  • Julia Rosenthal

An adventure Oasis 5 km from Melbourne city this place is well worth a visit everything from mountain bike trails to picnic spots. Dont hang around after dark though. Takes on a totally different atmosphere at night, not the safest place to be.

  • Aaron Soroka

Large open park with lots of grass area, tables to sit and relax. Many walking paths and access to a foot bridge to cross the river. Large playground for kids. Toilets are a small walk but good park for young kids and a stop from a Yarra walk

  • Greg Lyle

Great place for a lazy family sunday stroll. Playgrounds, boathouse, cafe and restaurant canoe and kayak hire, tranquility away from the buzz of the city but easy to get to by any means of public transport. Even minigolf at the golf club!

  • TME WTR

Balade au bord de l'eau, aire de jeux pour enfants, c'est pas mal. Le chemin est en trop mauvais état par endroits et l'aire de jeux n'est pas assez bien isolée de l'eau et des voitures.

  • John Locke

Even merely walking is nice.
Playground
Good for kids.
Restrooms
Not enough
Dog-friendliness
Dogs play happily.
Picnic area
A lot of space for picnicking

One of my favourite eel fishing spots....a stinky prawn or 2 & ur guaranteed to have some fun catching the slimy shortfin eels of the Yarra River

  • Ray Trace

Amazingly large and lush natural bushland near the CBD. Many winding trails and overgrown thickets that allows all sorts of fun and frivolity.

Need to get up 3 flights of stairs with the bike at the end of Collingwood Children's farm to continue on the cycling trail.

The narrow walk above the river, especially being towed by dogs, was quite an experience. Keep your balance!

Poorly maintained. Many of the walking tracks are in need of repair and cyclists speed on the footpaths.
