★★★★★“This Place is Fantastic So Beautiful, right in the heart of the bush. Excellent Picnic areas and BBQ set ups. Awesome walking tracks and bike riding tracks. The Trails are Amazing, Beautiful Historic bridge. This is all located next to the Studly park Boat House. Great for all Ages.”

★★★★☆“Generally nice space, food options, we walked the trail to the bats, it did take about 8 minutes of walking to see the bats, I think they’ve migrated a bit because the signs said we would see them much earlier, when we did see them it was pretty cool, lots of sound. Went on a weekday, not much people and there was ample parking on site.”

★★★☆☆“Enjoy the leafy grounds and abundant wildlife while strolling or biking its many trails. Stop for a picnic, walk your dog or play a round of golf, Best for bike 🚲 riding, walking will be bit tough, and it's the Melbourne largest Bushland park, almost stretched 12km across yara river.”
Kirsty Chapman
★★★★★“A large park with walking and cycling trails near the CBD”
