Accessibility
Visiting a park can be more of a challenge for people with disabilities, however in Victoria there are a wide range of facilities to help people of all abilities enjoy our wonderful parks around the state.
Swan, Coot, Cormorant and Grebe picnic grounds, Aquatic Drive, the Ampitheatre, the Community Playground, Ross Gregory Drive and the Powerhouse, were assessed for accessibility in February 2021, providing information about the accessibility of the picnic facilities, toilets, parking and paths in these areas, and photos.
To make it easier for people with limited mobility to see the all abilities access and experiences on offer at Albert Park, Parks Victoria has released this video - produced and narrated by accessibility advocate Ryan Smith, who uses a wheelchair.
Assistance dogs are welcome in Parks Victoria parks and reserves. Entry requirements apply for parks and reserves that are usually dog prohibited, such as national parks.
