Beautiful park with nice views and all the amenities. Pets are welcome at this place and a very popular place for kids & families.

Such a great spot to come watch the serene lake or take a jog around or just stroll at a leisurely pace. Not too crowded most of the time and offers great views of the lake and a spectacular sunset

Fantastic place to spend time. Have all the facilities and activities. Picnic, barbecue, amazing playground, 2.5km walking track, fishing, sand beach, dog leash-free park. And very impressed that Yarra Rangers Council looking after very well.

Amazing place for refreshing.

Good place except some irresponsible dog owners off leash their dogs on beach.

Fantastic day out, perfect 🤩 place to spend time with the family❤️

Well maintained park surroundings with a lot of activities for kids. Good place for a family picnic and barbeque.

Nicest and most maintained lake with heaps of room for people of all ages. So many activities to do,like kayaking on the lake, bbq-ing with friends, fishing jumping through water fountains etc. A lovely spot to visit

Well maintained and room for heaps of people of all ages. Kayaking on the lake, bbq-ing with friends, jumping through water fountains or a little bird watching and more. A lovely spot to visit. Even catch the sunrise or sunset from either side of the lake

A nice lake park. It has plenty of space and everything you need in a park. You can dip in the water, get a kayak, fishing etc. There are several food trucks selling baked potato and snacks and ice creams. The children can play in the dry and wet playground. Car park spaces are plenty.

Perfect place for kids and families . make sure to bring extra cloths for kids in summer to get wet in fountains . On-site Toilet . BBQ, ice cream shop , milk shake , baked potatoes take away van , picnic ground and lake walk 3km , lake kayak , kids playground and what not ! There are plenty of activities for whole day . Bring your camp tent and chair to relax Love to come back again and again

A beautiful lake for walking, relaxing, reading, kayaking whatever you desire and an excellent playground for kids including water play sections so great for hot days. Suits all ages and abilities. Wheelchair friendly swing available and wheelchair accessible walking tracks. I will definitely visit again. There was even a coffee van available on location. Very spacious and lots of areas available to play/eat etc. Shaded areas with trees or spots to soak up the sun. Can be as social or as private as you desire depending on the area you pick to sit in! Can't wait to go back and explore more.

My favourite spot. An easy walk around the lake with beautiful views of Mount Dandenong and Lilydale. Usually lively during the day but peaceful at night. Fresh air, friendly walkers, different species of birds and the sound of frogs later in the day. Good lighting and safe for those who like to jog or walk at night. Stunning sunsets and a really beautiful lake well worth visiting.

Great outdoor space for dog walking and recreation activities. Has a dog off lead area and playground. Family friendly and easy to navigate. Parking available.

lovely place. just come early or else car parking is a challenge

It's just a natural place. Clean water body surrounded with lush green plant life. Birds living there own life and are less or no scared with the presence of human. Walking/Running track. Wonderful places for families. A wonder place.

This beautiful park located at far east of Melbourne, great stop after long day of wine tasting at Yarra Vally, Coldstream It’s got the most magical sunset with the water act as a mirror. Has a track close to 3k loop around the lake with spots for bbq and kids playing ground and water plays.

Beautiful lake, great place for a walk or exercise. Playground very kid friendly, water activities and even a beach!

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in Victoria.

Lillydale lake is a great place to go if you want to walk, run, bike or kayak. My dog also loves walking a few laps! Toilets and drinks are available and there is a large playground for families with young kids. Car park has wheelchair access and is substantially large to accommodate the large number of people who come here often.

Great place for a run/picnic in Lilydale!

As you may have noticed, the township of Lilydale and Lillydale Lake have different spelling. I grew up here and went to the local high school and there was always some conjecture of the different spelling we'd see around. The Lake wasn't build then, but it's interesting that they've retained the original spelling of the former Lillydale Shire. The lake is artificial and has a number of wetland areas around it including to the south at Bellbird Park as well as the Olinda Creek Wetlands (Hull Road Wetlands). The park itself is over 100 hectares and within the boundary has multiple facilities available. The vastness of the open grassy area is immediately attractive and you'll find picnic groups on the weekend here kicking a football, soccer ball or invested in a game of cricket. Many people come here to walk the 10kms + as there are a number of paths around the 28 hectare lake. Make your way to the 400+ metre long dam wall. Interesting. Also there are the ruins of the Cashin's four mill still standing at the northern end of the dam, dating back to the 1850's. The facilities include a community room, a massive all-abilities, playground that should keep any curious child happy, fitness stations, toilet facilities, barbecues and plenty of picnic tables, chairs and rubbish bins. Plenty and I mean plenty of parking available. Just obey the signs. For those people into non-powered boating, there is a boat launching ramp as well. Note that there is a maximum of 4.5m length with a keel depth of up to 1m permitted on the Lake. Fishing jetty is a nice addition. Plus there are a couple of quite generous sized sandy beaches that are a lovely spot by the water for resting, relaxing or playing. On the weekend I was visiting, there was one food vendor vendor selling baked potatoes. Dog owners are welcome with two areas you can have your dog off leash. Just please pick up the poop. Lillydale Lake is open 24/7 and it's a great chance to enjoy this beautiful facility that is surrounded by many native Australian plants and shrubs.

Calming and beautiful

A great place to have a walk or run with tour dog. A family friendly walking path around the Lilydale Lake makes it a great place to spend a weekend day with family and friends. It has couple of barbecue hot plates, a kids playground, public toilets and even a leash free dog area.

Lilydale Lake is a truly wonderful destination that captures the essence of natural beauty and outdoor recreation. This expansive lake offers a perfect retreat for individuals and families alike.

Beyond its scenic beauty, Lilydale Lake offers a wide range of recreational activities to suit every interest. From fishing and boating to cycling and walking, there are endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to indulge in their favourite pastimes. The park also features well-maintained picnic areas, playgrounds, and barbecue facilities, making it an ideal spot for families and friends to gather and create lasting memories. Overall, Lilydale Lake is a true gem that offers a harmonious blend of natural splendour and recreational opportunities. Its breathtaking scenery, stunning lake, and diverse activities, make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Very scenic park with a playground along the lake. The playscape was very innovative with a giant slide and lots of space for kids to run around. We enjoyed watching the lake view. There is a small cafeteria in the corner of the parking where you can buy some good stuff.

Perfect place Kids Doggies Oldies Everyone Good quality

I love going to lilydale lake for fitness walking. 2.5 km around the lake. I like to go a few laps. Has bbqs. Has great play equipment for children. Fishing foe those that like to fish. And we'll maintained toilets. There is often food trucks too. #lilydalelake #fitness #familypark

Great location to cool off some heat with family and friends . Nice bbq areas and great kids playground. Fun place

Nice for a walk.

Such beautiful walking tracks!

My favourite place ever 😎🥰♥️ absolutely recommend

Love the place

Nice looking, big, very good

Great spot to walk around the lake. Nice flat ground, great atmosphere and proper walking path the while way around.

Our new favourite place to relax. Splash park is fantastic for the kids to cool off. Plenty of covered picnic tables, the playground is fun and quirky, and flying fox is a winner.

I live for some day in villa near the lake. It was amazing experience. In the morning you can hear the sound of birds, and the people do their sports. Many people train their dogs, and children playing in the park or ini the sand. It was beautiful. Pretty Lilydale lake

Lilydale Lake is a very user friendly outing with ease of access to the path around the lakes edge. This is a very popular destination for people to take their four footed friends and just get out and enjoy the fresh air. At sunset the lake comes alive with the reflections of the sun on the water. There is a plenty of room for a picnic and also an area for kids to play with a very good playground located within easy walking distance of the carpark. photos by Wayne Gale Photography

Family picnic spot

What a beautiful place.. visited it in early September and it was awesome. Ample space for kids to run around and play..

Great for walks

Enjoy your evening

One of the best place in Melbourne.. it's perfect for everything.... Barbecue, kids play area, workout, walking trails, mountain bike trail, meditation, organic coffee, twist potatoes, kite flying... Oh my god... The list is never ending.... Always on my list when I think of winding down...

Sunday morning a bunch of anti vaxxers are staging a demonstration. No police to move them on, they're just taking up all the grass space and ruining it for everyone.

Good playground. But hard for under 2s to use playground compared to other parks around.

The best lake I ever went to because of the fact is a playground there! Meaning that you can get your kids to play there! Also not just that, you can have a morning walk inside of the sunshine!

Had a great 2.5km walk around the lake, so many great picnic spots, there is also a fishing area, you can bring a small boat to do some kayaking around the lake and the playground had lots of varieties which all the kids as well as adults love. The place also has wildlife and outdoor gym. Great place for walking your dog too and have bbq with friends

Great picnic area! Also you can go for a nice walk around the lake! Also close to shopping centre!

Now this is a park worth making a trip to!. Visiting a park with all the amenities is always a great way to spend a relaxing day outdoors. One such park that comes to mind is this park with a beautiful artificial lake. The park boasts a fabulous playground and a fantastic water park the kids will love which provide a perfect spot for picnics or activity filled day for them to burn some energy!. Or you can always just find a nice spot to sit and read a book. The serene lake, with its resident ducks and water spots activities that happens on the weekends, adds to the parks' tranquil ambience. The park's playground is a favourite spot for children who can run, climb, slide & get wet to their heart's content. Parents can relax on the nearby benches and watch their little ones enjoy themselves. The park is also equipped with tables and toilets for the convenience of visitors. One of the most significant advantages of this park is that it remains unclosed (not sure about toilets), which means that visitors can enjoy its serene beauty and amenities at any time of the day or night. The park is a perfect place to take a break from the daily grind and enjoy some much-needed fresh air in beautiful surroundings.

It was fantastic. Only issue was people not picking up their dogs poo. So watch where you step on the grass.

Great place to spend time outdoors. Has lots of facilities for BBQ or picnic. The loop around the lake is 2.5km which is perfect for a half hour walk. Also able to fish here but not many shaded areas that have a clear area without plants to fish from. The jetty we saw was surrounded by tall grass / weeds so not really useable. There were quite a lot of people the day we went and a lot of people kayaking.

Such a beautiful and picturesque artificial lake , imbued with local history and teeming with wildlife. My only complaint would be the removal of the beautiful wooden playground, but the new facilities still seem enjoyable.

Great off leash area for the dogs! Lots of open grass space and water-areas for a swim! On-leash walking areas is great too - lots of wildlife and a play area for kids at one side of the lake. Great for picnics in the summer.

Awesome place for family weekends.. nice playground and walking area .. picnic spots available.. good and clean toilets .. lot of parking space

Excellent place for any type of outing, serves everyone needs, be it walking jogging, playing etc. Spent a day out here and will certainly aim to come back again. Most importantly very decent crowds.

Great place for a walk around the lake. Extra great place for families to gather for a BBQ. Lots of recreational facilities for children. The only downside is, too much dog poo along the walking track. Come on dog owners, be responsible, bags are supplied so pick it up please.

Perfect place to bring family for picnic, and perfect place for walking.

Great place for family fun

Great place to go for a walk, nice off lead area for the doggies.

Always a beautiful place to go

Can walk around within 30 minutes. Beautiful views with off-leash dog area, kids play area and plenty of BBQs...

Great space to walk.

Good for filter outing

Enjoyable place with kids

Lovely place for a nice walk. Check out the coffee van too for a great cuppa

Great place for picnic with friends and kids..

Good place for family outdoor and plenty of parking

Excellent place for a day picnic

Good playground large open space to kick a football and cricket. Bbq facilities available. Coffee, ice cream and food trucks there on a Saturday Sunday

Great place to fish , sail, bbq ,get fit and spend quality time with family

best place for a walk

A great place to learn yachting with dedicated staff. All equipment is well maintained.

A very good place to chill and relax. The lake is very beautiful. Getting a parking here might be challenging - especially so, during a good sunny weekend.

Fantastic place to relax and unwind

Fantastic park to go walking with your dog.

Great for a walk with the dog.

A great place to relax by the lake or go for a short walk or run around the 2.5km lake. The bbq and play areas are great for families

The play area was update a few years ago and changed to be not a good option for very small kids or kids who need help climbing cargo netting. I wish there was staircases to suit younger siblings/kids. Not a great upgrade.

Beautiful place for picnic, hangout, things to do for kids and for me fishing 🤩 Last Friday I caught 3 Trouts and one of them slipped away. But the 3rd one was Godzilla of Rainbow Trout species. 4.5kg, 70~72cm long Monster !!! Biggest fish of my life !!!! 💥💥💥

Beautiful and serene place to visit!

Beautiful

So beautiful and attractive place

Great place to walk or ride

So popular. If parking is difficult try parking at Bellbird Park just back along Swansea Rd. Usually plenty of parking spots and a short walk to the lake circuit if you are there for the exercise.

Beautiful surroundings, good facilities and a fabulous, interesting playground for kids. Lots of picnic spots in well maintained grounds.

Perfect location to complete your 10,000 steps. Beautiful view of the lake from the dam bridge and family can have picnic at the beach.

Nice place for picnic, running and jigging. You can keep your dog here as well.

Lillydale lake can be a great place to spend the day, it has an enormous playground, often visited by food trucks on weekends and even has a small beach like area with sand at the edge of the lake. It features many public use BBQ's and areas for sitting, picnicking and wide-open areas for playing games and walking dogs. The only negative thing is that because Lillydale Lake is a popular tourist spot it can get extremely crowded, especially on weekends or sunny days. The lake is also prone to flooding during heavy rainfall.

Beautiful place to hang out

Very beautiful place for short trip. Accessible (you can take metro train to Lilydale and walk couple of minutes) to everyone. You will see a bunch of people having picnic.

A fantastic park for a walk (nearly 3 km walk around the lake), picnic, bbq, boating, canoeing, 🎏 and 🐦 sighting. It's equipped with multiple children play areas, one of which is specifically designed for water-play. 👌 Will satisfy the need of people of different age groups, however, parking could be an issue, especially on weekends and holidays.
