Piney Lakes Reserve — Attraction in Winthrop

One of the biggest parks in the location, which seriously needs to be explored to appreciate what piney lakes park and and piney lakes reserve has to offer and experience. Murdoch University, Murdoch Train station, and Corpus Christi College residing very close to this location is an added bonus, not only because of ease of transport for those that cannot arrive via vehicle, but for those that are interested in stepping away from the park to visit Murdoch University. The parking area almost directly accross from Corpus Christi is large and toilets are very close by, as well as two BBQ's's and a covered seating area. Over the last four years they have made this gem that much more of an eye catcher and certainly comfortable. Have a stroll beyond the all ages play area's to enjoy the beautiful duck pond and wooden walk ways, then you will see the very large grassy sporting area with housing to the left and the reserve to the right.

Friendly neighbour hood. The park is split into 3 main section.

Starting on the side closest to Murdoch Dr you have a hug playground and family area by the lake. The playground had a huge climbing tree and multiple swings. This leads on to nice walk up to the hill on top of piney lakes. On the way up you will pass by waterfalls/bridge and a Lily pond.

The next part after the hill you can see an area for dogs and pets. Regularly at 4pm onwards dog owners well gather to let their dogs interact with each other.

During you walk in the dog area of the park you will see gates. After the gates is a natural reserved for flora and fauna. There is a nice walk on the wooden plants through the trees. Enclose in the nature reserve is a community centre that showcase and educate visitors on the local flora and fauna. in this section you will also find a sculpture walk that has various display of local talents and also an introduction to aboriginal languages

Overall it's a great place to bring the family and pets or just out for a...

I was privileged to attend a Traditional Maori Healing Course there with the Beautiful Gabrielle Walker from Wanderkind... What an Awe Inspiring couple of weeks... Surrounded by the natural beauty of the bush... the melodic dulcet welcome of the birdsong chorus visiting everyday... Added to the essential calming scents and blended rythms and earthly vibrations... It was Soulful... Matching and accommodating the ancient healing traditions that were passed on throughout our time there... Staff were not only accommodating but Genuine... Friendly and always available to lend a listening ear... Awesome... I also liked the fact they are completely off Grid and trying to blend into the environment rather than eliminate it ... Natural Long drop toilet facilities... Solar and Wind Powered... Water Tank...
