We've visited here a few times and it's an idyllic spot to stop for a breather to enjoy the views, or to spend a day enjoying the fresh air and great views North to the Yarra Valley.
Accessed via well graded dirt and gravel roads, expect your vehicle to get quite dusty in dry weather, or muddy in wet weather
Sweeping verdant green lawns in spring, although it is quite steep if you come straight down from the car park, so watch your step!
Plenty of space to kick a ball around, throw a frisbee etc, people set up deckchairs and have picnics.
There are public toilets at the Eastern end, a couple of shelters, with free BBQs, benches, and paths to various walks.
I didn't notice any signage or maps indicating what walks are available, distances etc.
Although it is a mature Arbortoreum established in the 1970's, apart from a memorial plaque there was no history, info plaques on plantations, purpose or aims of the plantation etc, which I found disappointing.
Park picnic and dog walk 🦮 This is a great area to visit either for a quick look at the view, or hang around and have a picnic all you needed for a great day is available bbq,gazebos,toilets,water,picnic tables and seating,plus there is heaps of grassed area to play cricket,football or just roll around. There are many different tracks though out park and well worth exploring. It would take many hours to walk them all.
One of the best places for walks in Melbourne. There are a few trails to explore. I love walking here on autumn and spring days. The tracks are mostly shaded by magnificent giant trees. There's ample car park space in the mornings. The trails are mostly easy with short stretches of moderate to steep incline.
The place is very peaceful. Hidden gem with stunning valley and mountain views. Stunning on a sunny day as well as on a rainy one.
Those tall trees nestled right behind you make a beautiful backdrop for pictures. Walking beyond the trees will give you a beautiful view. The site is very close to a common barbecue and toilets
A lovely walk with many trails and great areas for the dogs to roam. Information point useful but displays a little faded.
It was a very peaceful and silent place . Very good for a picnic lunch on a bright sunny day.I went during the sunset time and witnessed the beautiful orange sky, which was so amazing.
When we were around this place, randomly searched in Google for a place to sit, relax and enjoy the nature 🏞😀. We got this place which ticked all the boxes, exactly what we were looking for. Very beautiful place 👌. First thing, there is enough space for parking, so no worry about that. There is public toilet near the parking area, which is in an okay condition for a public toilet, so no worry about that too. They have provided some barbecue area and tables if you want to spend the time with your family or friends like that. Vast lawn area for picnic or play with kids or pets or so. Lot of trees as well. Then there is beautiful view of the mountains and greeneries. The view is amazing, photo perfect, you see the nature in layers. Then there are walking trails and bushes as well, for some trail walking, which I couldn't explore. Overall a great place.
Found 2 post holes in the grass 1 metre away from path and 3 metres from the carpark on the grassy slope. My wife pregnant fell down one and rolled her ankle. I back filled them with wood chips if someone working for council can fill them in.
Very dangerous and complacent to remove a post and not fill them permanently
