Karkarook Park — Attraction in Melbourne

Karkarook Park is very big with large areas of water, lakes, ponds and wetlands. You can jog, walk dogs, picnic, sunbathe, cycle, do sports, go fishing, fly kites, read under the shade, watch birds and fish (but don’t feed them), have gatherings with families and friends, bring your kids and do many things. There are BBQ facilities, tables, benches, a playground, public toilet, watching bridges, large area of grass and trees. Watch out for other people if you cycle on the walking tracks because young kids are easily hit. Walk with your bikes if crowded. There are usually many people on weekends but you will find your personal space in this awesome park. Some small walking trails are hidden with thorns, bird and dogs’ poo, slippery and can trip you to the nearby water easily, so be careful. Experienced hikers like them. You can reach the park by public transit, bus 903...

It's a beautiful recreational and wetland area! There's a huge lake which is a good spot for a variety of recreational activities such as canoeing, kayaking, sailing, etc. It's also a good spot for fishing in the designated zones. The lake is surrounded by a large asphalt walking track which is ideal for walking, running and cycling. On the Warrigal Road side of the road there are trails that run through the wetlands which is a good spot for bird watching.

The park is perfect for picnic with family and friends. There are multiple open areas with barbecues and picnic tables. There's also a playground for the kids and public toilets. In addition, there's an observation tower that overlooks the lake which is a great spot for taking photos. The park is easily accessible and there's a parking area onsite. I highly recommend...
