    A lovely playground with facilities catered for different ages, right by the side of a lake.

    Beautiful park to take your dog for a walk on leash, with plenty of walking trails and some historic sites scattered around. The lake is stunning and there's plenty of birdlife on the waters edge. A few picnic areas and an interesting bridge across the lake, but otherwise a pleasant walking area.

    It was rather difficult to find the entrance to the carpark coming from Mt Dandenong Road. It enters via a narrow road next to petrol/service station. There is a lack of simple and more informative direction signs, and I took some trial and error to find my friends who had already arrived and were waiting at the pavilion. It requires a few minutes to walk from the carpark to the pavilion which is in the middle of an a lake, connected by a bridge. It can be quite a distance to carry food stuff to the open picnic area or the pavilion. Once in the park proper, it is hard to believe the busy Maroondah Highway, the Ringwood train and bus station are just close by or just about 10-minute walk. It is a great park covering 8.5 hectares with the playground, shelters, seats, public toilets, barbecues, bushland and approximately 1.1km long walking and cycling trails. The many ducks inhibit the lake are protected. Visitors are not to feed the duck with bread as it is unsuitable food for them, and waste bread causes bacterial growth in the lake, which can be deadly to the ducks. While we were there, a magpie came to "share" our food. Now that many of my friends and I are not in active employment, we can enjoy the tranquil setting of the park on weekdays. If you enjoy my review, please give me a Like. Thank you for reading.

    It’s a nice place for kids or family to have picnic and family activities. I like taking a walk there too. It could be very busy at weekends.

    Quite a popular neighbourhood park with a lake enjoyed by families of 2-legged, 4-legged and feathered varieties alike. Pleasant walking trail to go a few rounds to get the desired workout. Been there a few times. See photos of all facilities available there.

    Ringwood lake park has a lake with ducks, walking trails, electric BBQs, toilets and children’s park. The play slides, swings and sand play areas are located slightly apart from each other giving a feeling of scattered throughout the park. This gives kids to explore around and also for families to have their own secluded areas. The equipment and facilities are quite new. The car parking can be difficult during peak times. But otherwise an awesome park, with something for everyone.

    Excellent small oasis. Great walk for families with younger kids. Access to the water is easy so make sure kids are 100% supervised. (Also, there is direct access to the train lines, with a train crossing gate, so make sure the nippers are always in sight). Extensive playground, toilets, some historical mining points of interest and well landscaped paths and bush. Great open areas as well. Very easy to access. Resident ducks as well :)

    Pleasant park with a variety of spaces, from the bustling playground to quiet benches around the lake. There's even an outdoors mining museum.

    A wonderful place to go - bbq areas, public toilets and great playground and nature what more could you want. Must admit that finding the car park was a bit tricky but easy once I searched the right phrases.

    Great place for an afternoon stroll with the kids, plenty of activity to keep them busy for a couple of hours. You can also walk along the lake bank just admiring the surroundings. Located not far from Eastland, this is a perfect place to wind down on the weekend.

    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. For adults, there are easy 30 mins to 1 hr scenic walks around the creek.

    A beautiful place to visit, just tucked off to the side of the Maroondah Hwy a few mins walk from the centre of town. There is a number of walking/cycling paths around the lake and plenty of grassed areas to relax and have a picnic on. You can see quite a number of water birds on and around the lake, which makes it a great spot for the kids to enjoy.

    An excellent place for kids. Kids can do lots of activities. Parking is little bit difficult. There's no specific parking area. Water, toilets and bbq facilities available. lots of places to sit and wait. You can not feed the ducks in the lake. There are number of huts.

  • 4/5 Bryce D. 9 months ago on Google • 89 reviews
    Wonderful park that's got something for everybody. Playground for the kids. Lots of tracks for walking or riding. Good covered areas for a picnic or a bbq with friends. The lake has plenty of life and ducks to entertain the kids.

  • 4/5 chris i. 10 months ago on Google • 53 reviews
    Pretty good park for kids , too our 3yr olds here as we stay to our local park 10 away, I think better than Croydon park as it's got harder activities and bigger slider to use to match their age better. The BBQs were actually pretty clean and park, and it's good if they bring their bikes as you can ride around the lake too , the BBQs are under cover completely not like boronia, the toilets are not great but minimal damage , some lights didn't work or doors don't lock, and covers to toilet paper are missing. If you come in the morning you will have to.bring a towel to wipe off the metal slides because of the water at the bottom. And the playground is big enough that as an adult you can play with your kids and go down the slides too. Having lights on the play equipment to play as it's getting dark would be good tho.

    Good play ground for all ages, bar b Que facility, lots of shades and toilet facilities. Great Wall around the lake and some people were doing fishing as well. You can easily spent few hours there.

    You can enjoy a beautiful day in this place. The park has a BBQ zone, a play area for kids, and a beautiful bridge over a lake.

  • 4/5 Michael D. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is very popular with all ages and for walker's it's great. You are able to extend your walk with other linking tracks, whoever the lake it self is very average and I don't think we will picnic their

  • 4/5 Thusan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park in the town with a lake at the centre. Play area for children, picnic areas and walking paths are the main features. Accessible Parking available from main street. For car parking, enter from area next to Caltex.

  • 4/5 Cheng Joo T. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome playground for kids (sand pit, swings (including one for wheelchair-bound users), metal slides and a carousel). The toilets are also conveniently located right beside the playground. Paths are wide enough for kids to cycle/pedal safely and with plenty of open grass fields for picnics. Barbeques are also available for use.

    Very nice place for a morning walk.

  • 4/5 Lyn K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a lovely bushland setting with all the amenities including BBQ and picnic tables, toilets and upgraded playground for the kids. Parking is available just off Mt Dandenong road It’s one of our ‘go to’ places for sketching and we often see a group doing Tai Chi and other exercise genres. A great asset to this community.

  • 5/5 Mark L. 2 years ago on Google
    Since Dan has been promoting picnics, I've had alot of picnics. Heaps.

  • 4/5 Andrew P. 2 years ago on Google
    My grandchildren love it there. My only problem is nowhere near enough parking. The only off-street parking is disabled parking. There are only about 8 parking spaces on Maroondah highway in front of the park. The facility is clearly designed for more people than there is parking for. The only alternative you have is to park in nearby shops which the proprietors clearly don’t like. There used to be more parking up off Mt Dandenong Rd but this is now gone too.

  • 5/5 Adnan R. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the largest parks with lake, a little forest and a large playground. We love this playground as there are lots of options for the kids. There are good facilities for barbecue and picnic too.

  • 4/5 Kathy A. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely park, plenty of things to see and do. A great playground overlooking the lake, the only downside is it is not fenced and children have direct access to the water when playing. Bike paths, wheelchair access, a few undercover spaces with BBQ facilities and toilet facilities available.

  • 5/5 Colby H. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful spot, and a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne life (even in lockdown). Great spot for a picnic, a walk through the reservation or even a taste of the local history of mining in the area - with info and images from the days when Ringwood was a little mining town, bringing miners of gold and antimony (cohl) to the area.

  • 4/5 Adli G. 10 months ago on Google
    Little park with small lake, quite beautiful and relaxing park, located near to the main road, it has some car park and public toilet. There is also a playground for children to play. The lake is clean and sometimes there are some ducks swimming in the lake, but we are not allowed to feed them. A beautiful and relaxing place to rest or to spend some time with family

  • 4/5 bingolord 2 years ago on Google
    It was a beautiful sunny day, loads of people & kids everywhere because of school hols. I had a most enjoyable walk around the lake 😀 but the water looks very murky and it would be good if the council could clean it up. I don't know how possible that is 🤔 but a most enjoyable saunter around 😀

  • 4/5 Jenny C. 2 years ago on Google
    We really enjoyed this park, the wheelchair accessible playground is great for all ages, even our two year old managed to have fun. It also has a sand pit although we didn't play in it. But you need to keep a close eye on younger ones, the lake is right next to the playground and is unfenced. Tracks along the lake are very well maintained, great for bikes and scooters. Only downside is there is barely any parking. There is only a small parking lot specifically for wheelchair users, and a few off street parking along the main road and those get filled up very quickly on weekends.

  • 5/5 Peter Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Have not been there since my kids were little. Took grand kids there and was pleasantly amazed at the improvements. Great park for adults and kids. Good bbq facilities.

  • 5/5 Lorraine H. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there to kill some time with my grandson whilst his mum was busy at an appointment close by. Well we couldn't have been more delighted. It has a great play area for the littlies and a lovely walkway across the lake. We loved sitting at the stop and enjoy the lake half way across. It's covered in, well has a roof and somewhere to sit and a beautiful breeze on a warm day.

  • 5/5 Neil l. 3 years ago on Google
    A very nice park, great modern playground and a reminder of the history of Ringwood with the mining information, it is a pity the replica hut and poppet head are long gone but thankfully the display boards with the information are still in place. The lake has a calming tranquil effect and I think it world be nice to have a little paddle in a canoe or kayak on the lake for people new to watercraft ( there are no signs saying you CAN'T do it, and there is a dock with ample space to launch a canoe or kayak)

  • 5/5 Kimberley 3 years ago on Google
    First time I've been in here a very long time! Great improvements, very accessible and inclusive for those with additional needs. Ringwood Lake Park has a permanent Changing Places bathroom facility catering for people with a severe disability. The park also features four unisex toilets – two being fully accessible and providing baby changing facilities. From what I could see the Barbecues looked exceptionally clean.

  • 4/5 Behnood S. 2 years ago on Google
    Some places on this earth need little to no upkeep to hold a warm and wonderful place in your heart. Unbelievably and, until this year unbeknownst to me, this is such a place. I remember coming here as a young butterball with my slimline skateboard (it had a long handle and had a specific name and purpose), my brother and my family, and straddling the board at top speed down the path, skidding to a halt before plummeting into a potentially watery grave. The playground, BBQ's and toilets may have changed, but the feelings and fun remain on high! Pick a sunny Sunday to venture down to maximise the positive vibes, as the sound of children playing tends to transport us all to a time we all thought long forgotten, but very much alive in us all.
