Change of Conditions
Nature being nature, sometimes conditions can change at short notice. It’s a good idea to check this page ahead of your visit for any updates.
Southern section of park closed
The southern section of Greenvale Reservoir Park is closed, including the Cypress and Brodies Lakes Picnic Areas.
Northern section of Greenvale Reservoir Park now open
This part of the park is open seven days a week, 9 am to 8 pm. We’re expecting to increase opening hours to 24-hour access in early 2022.
If you’ve visited Greenvale Reservoir Park in the past, you’ll notice the public park land is now a much smaller pocket park and will look different to how you may remember it.
While this is an important first step in reopening the northern section of the park for local pedestrians, carparking and other visitor amenities are not currently available.
