A nice enough park. Relatively flat, easy walking. Lots of different bird species around the water. Overall the park is clean and well maintained. There’s also a playground and plenty of bike trails. The park is part of a long chain of reserves along the Dandenong Creek. Don’t confuse this park with the Dandenong Valley Wetlands located further north, in the Scoresby area. The one and only toilet is… kind of gross, actually. And blasts an instrumental version of “What the World Needs Now is Love” on a loop while in use.

We haven't had a chance to visit when the museum opens so we can give a review regarding the external area only. It was a great scenic spot to chill out for get away trip. The best time to visit would be around the autumn season as they have few nice areas with yellow autumn leaves plants. I guess other seasons like spring are also good with leafy pathways and a big pond in the middle. It gives a calm and peaceful feeling when walking or sitting around in the area. 每周尽量来

Not to be confused with the Dandenong Valley Wetlands/Parklands (and it's a pity the google maps' naming doesn't reflect the name on the signs), this place is... okay. The walking tracks are well maintained, though rather limited. There's a bird hide, although you'll find a wider range of winged friends in other places. No amenities that I could spot, but there's a BBQ and a playground. It's quite pretty at dusk.

Loved my walk there. Comfortable walk and a path that hugs the lake area. Somewhere in the middle there is a bird watching area that is well built and a great place to pause to observe the birds and the lake area. There are quite a few benches on the park for resting and at least 3 or 4 spots to stop, take pictures and look around. Worth the visit and walk

  • Carol OBrien

Very, nice place to walk your dog. Lovely to see wetland birds make this their home. Google maps didn't show me the best way to drive to park car though. I found that out when l had to park off main road edge. No tickets required.

The cascading water, surrounded by lush greenery, creates a mesmerizing sight. Pack a picnic and spend a lazy afternoon by the falls – you won't be disappointed.

A great, open space for a nice walk. It’s pretty flat the whole way so no need to stress over any hills and slopes! There’s a small playground as well as a wetland, of course. The grass is so green it could pass off as a desktop wallpaper.
