10 k's of shared trails, and off-leash areas allow for plenty of exercise for yourself and four-legged friends in the park.




This area is a great starting point to head off on bicycles along the Warburton Rail Trail which starts close by and runs for some 39k's through the Yarra Valley to Warburton. As the trail follows the line of the railway it provides an easy ride as the inclines are nice and gentle for the inexperienced.
