Wombolano Park — Attraction in Melbourne

5 star for the amazing nature walking paths. The kids play area could have more space, there is more room to add a family space, I would say heaps of room if the toilets were removed.

Dogs love it as much as humans and it’s a friendly community.

Minus -5 star for a council that can’t put dog poo bins at the entry/exit points of the park like nearly every other council in Victoria (yep not just Melbourne… Victoria).

It would also be great if there was lighting and security cameras for security when it starts getting dark, in the day it’s great but I would not go anywhere near it as...

A nice little area of bushland with walk tracks lying behind the local houses (park and enter at Braidwood Ave; don't trust the GPS, we could not see a path entry from street parking near the playground) The park could use some love; signs and general upkeep were quite neglected.

Wombolano Park is a beautiful remnant bushland reserve; one of the few remaining havens for native flora and fauna in that area.

Roughly half my lifetime ago, while completing a degree in biological sciences, I designed the Sensory Trail for the Council. I then used it to teach local school groups about the ecological values of the reserve.
