From the Studley Park Boathouse restaurant we had to drive to get to the other side to get to the Yarra Bend Park. However this is just a crossover walk from Studley park via suspension bridge otherwise need to drive if you have picnic stuff in the car and want a closer parking after a long walk. It is right next to the golf course. This park has ample picnic tables and some are roofed. Lots of shaded areas, clean bbq and bins around. Public toilets are available as well. Towards the end is the Yarra River where you can launch a kayak or go for fishing. We had our camping chairs and picnic mats set up after our brunch at Studley Park Boathouse and stayed there relaxing while hubbies are fishing. No luck by the way but it was the experience that counts. This park is clean and has a wide open area for playing and walking/running. Pets are welcome but remember to pick up after your dogs.

Great walk at Yarra Bend Park / Studley Park! Started off cross the bridge and then later the trails got a little more challenging as it started to be unpaved and uneven ground.. some trail runners around that we made way for. Went towards the falls and further towards Collingwood childrens farm. Very different scenery on the two legs!! Got a little lost, the area could benefit from more signage to guide us.. but wow what a walk! Lots to do, walk the trails or the narrow bush trails, see the falls, end the walk at the boathouse cafe for a delicious scone paired with great coffee!

This place is a gem in the middle of the city! It is huge though. You can explore it in many visits. We can see so many activities happening, people running with their dogs, walking, rowing in the river (I think you can rent a boat), kids playing, and even weddings. There is a super cool cafe there (Fairfield Park Boathouse) with a delicious menu (try the scones!). Sun set is amazing over the brigde. Also, check the huge bats living there! At the sunset they fly all over the park. It's amazing! To sum up, it's a must go if you live in Melbourne!

My husband and I spent our Saturday in this park. We went there on foot. It's not too far from the city. And I love it! Its nature, views, and river are so beautiful. The roads are wide enough for both walkers and bicycle riders. Although the weather was chilly, I barely felt cold being busy with enjoying the fresh air. There is a picnic area with a small cafe where you can buy delicious pastries and different kind of burgers. Reasonable price and generous serve! Highly recommend to visit!

Beautiful park to take the family out for fun activities - walking, rowing/canoeing and delicious lunch (although very pricey). Canoe hire was generous. We took the right route to check out the flying foxes... and wow! Be respectfully amazed of their roosting place. It felt like a scene in the Amazon. Water was clean enough, we did pick up a few items out on the canoe trip. Definitely bring spare clothes to change into later 😁

Did the dight falls track and enjoyed it a lot. Love the sound of the birds singing and the different variety of trees and plants along the way. The place feels so serene and peaceful, a stark contrast from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. Best thing is it is only a few minutes away from the CBD yet you feel like you are in a different world. Cant wait to come back and explore the other tracks.
