Braeside Park
Braeside Park is an oasis of parkland nestled amongst golf courses, urban development and busy roads. As you stroll through the park’s Red Gum grassy woodlands, heathland and around the wetlands, it's easy to forget you're surrounded by the suburbs.

Jells Park

Werribee Park
Soak up the grandeur of Werribee Park, an estate built on the riches of an Australian pastoral empire. Explore the heritage-listed Werribee Mansion, set up a picnic in the beautiful formal gardens or see a kaleidoscope of colour when the 5000 roses bloom in the Victoria State Rose Garden.

Westerfolds Park
Situated beside the Yarra River in Templestowe, Westerfolds Park, a key component of Melbourne’s open space, offers over 120 hectares of recreational and environmental parkland for visitors to experience and enjoy.
