It's a beautiful park. I go for walks here every other day. Please keep your eyes on the trails and watch out for Tiger snakes. I saw one the other day and freaked out so badly I lost footing and was super close falling into the river haha.

Great walk at Yarra Bend Park / Studley Park! Started off cross the bridge and then later the trails got a little more challenging as it started to be unpaved and uneven ground.. some trail runners around that we made way for. Went towards the falls and further towards Collingwood childrens farm. Very different scenery on the two legs!! Got a little lost, the area could benefit from more signage to guide us.. but wow what a walk! Lots to do, walk the trails or the narrow bush trails, see the falls, end the walk at the boathouse cafe for a delicious scone paired with great coffee!

Home to the largest Fruit Bat Colony in Australia, this is definitely the place to go if you want to see them. Surprisingly active throughout the day, there were heaps of bats not too far up the river.

5 star park! Came for the huge off-lead walking track which didn't disappoint! Multiple trails with different lengths for easily leisure walking. Highly recommend!

My husband and I spent our Saturday in this park. We went there on foot. It's not too far from the city. And I love it! Its nature, views, and river are so beautiful. The roads are wide enough for both walkers and bicycle riders. Although the weather was chilly, I barely felt cold being busy with enjoying the fresh air. There is a picnic area with a small cafe where you can buy delicious pastries and different kind of burgers. Reasonable price and generous serve! Highly recommend to visit!

Such and amazing place. Perfect for a walk, a good running, cycling, picnic or just relaxing reading a good book. It is quite calm, really clean (please keep it that way!).

Amazing parklands along the winding river. Nice for jogs or long walks with the untouched feel, or to simply relax with nature while enjoying peace tranquil still nature. There are no manicured gardens there but you will experience beautiful natural landscapes - trees and grasslands with dirt walking tracks and some sealed shared tracks for pedestrians and bikes. Nice sunset views, depending on the slope or hillside.

Truly stunning immersion of the yarra river and urban landscape. Waterfalls, bush trails, swimming spots, bridges, just got it all.

Beautiful park in the inner suburbs. Easy proximity from lots of places. Lovely gorgeous walking trails. We ate at the main Boathouse, overpriced food but very nice. Very popular area, parking is precious, lots of families. Spent the afternoon basking in the sun, it was a great day.

Did the dight falls track and enjoyed it a lot. Love the sound of the birds singing and the different variety of trees and plants along the way. The place feels so serene and peaceful, a stark contrast from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. Best thing is it is only a few minutes away from the CBD yet you feel like you are in a different world. Cant wait to come back and explore the other tracks.

This place is a gem in the middle of the city! It is huge though. You can explore it in many visits. We can see so many activities happening, people running with their dogs, walking, rowing in the river (I think you can rent a boat), kids playing, and even weddings. There is a super cool cafe there (Fairfield Park Boathouse) with a delicious menu (try the scones!). Sun set is amazing over the brigde. Also, check the huge bats living there! At the sunset they fly all over the park. It's amazing! To sum up, it's a must go if you live in Melbourne!

Very nice place for day picnic on river bank and walking trail beside river

Lunch at the Boat House on banks of Yarra River idyllic. Further along, thousands of fruit bats in trees along river.

Fantastic park. Great for walking, boating and yelling at dogs to 'come back here'. A terrific asset for Melbourne.

Pretty cool park to hang out. This was my first time but will definitely go again.

Great place to visit for a COVID safe walk and picnic. Some nearby picnic areas and main parts of the park are closed currently but there is still plenty of carparks, areas to wander around and grass to sit on. Many off leash areas for dogs. Visit Dight's Falls while you're there.

Really great place to go for a long walk during Covid restrictions lots of space lots of grass lots of trees beautiful scenery alongside the Yarra River quite a few people around on the weekend but there’s still plenty of room to have your own space as well. Perfect for families couples friends or just singles walking the dog would strongly recommend Really great place to go for a long walk during Covid restrictions lots of space lots of grass lots of trees beautiful scenery alongside the Yarra River quite a few people around on the weekend but there’s still plenty of room to have your own space as well.

One of the best parks ive ever been to... especially for dogs. Paths near the river, amazing artwork. the falls is also very beautiful.

I love going to Yarra bend Park in summer and take some photos, great place to watch the world go by.

Yarra bend park is the perfect day place to go when the weather is good. There is just so much to do including golf, boating, picnics, bring your dog to the gated area, Collingwood zoo, and so much more!

Beautiful scenery walking along the banks of the Yarra River. We walked across Kane's Bridge and strolled around the bushland circuit. Had a coffee at the Studley Park Boathouse kiosk. Saw lorikeets, wattle birds and magpies. We were even fortunate enough to see and hear a Kookaburra.

Amazing walk, so many different tracks which can be quite confusing but you’re in for an adventure! Anticipate the walk through the flying fox forest, because you won’t be able to experience this elsewhere.

Yarra bend park is a great spot for everyone! Plenty of twisty roads for the two wheelers, great walking tracks for the ground pounders and fabulous views for those with less movement in mind! I come here regularly and so should you!

I honestly love this park, it's close enough to the city, yet it's rugged enough to encourage wildlife, and there's some great walks around the banks of the Yarra. There's an abundance of wildlife if you look for it. Eastern Bearded Dragons, snakes, fishing birds, black cockatoos (usually before rain), spiders etc. If you like your flowers there's plenty of those, too. It's come something for everyone. Places to relax, cycling, parks for the kids and walking tracks. The best tracks line the Yarra, but they aren't accessible for everyone, with steep, rocky faces in places. You cam cycle some of the tracks, but there are very steep faces and I've had to pull someone up before on an e-bike. I fell once myself and was lucky I never ended up in the Yarra. It's a fun park, though. There's currently renovations to too areas. It's getting more changes, and it will be more accessible from the Abbotsford side and Richmond side in the future. It's pretty accessible from the in most places, but check the website and stick to the paths. Sensitive wildlife and flowers are all over this park.

best mini golf we went in Melbourne

Best public access golf course around Melbourne town. The driving range is perfect for convincing yourself that you know how to play golf. The course is perfect for proving you wrong, but it's pretty 😉

A nice trail close to Studley park great for small hikes, walk and bird sighting. I read the water flows from the Yarra river which can be seen around the trail. There is a boat house beside the Studley park for one interested in boating on the river. Took about 2/3 hours to complete the whole trail. It was beautiful despite the naturally brown river.

An excellent green space with good facilities Played golf there great course rather challenging Wild life abundant deer kangaroos and bats

Wonderful place for jogging, cycling and relaxing with family.

We love that there's so much off leash areas to walk the dog, and he loves it there too.

Fantastic walk with lots different paths to go to different places. Great for dogs and humans alike. Lots of signage to help you know where you're going.

The best things in life are free, the kids loved seeing the bats during the day

Probably my favourite place to walk my dog on lead. Central, by the city, water and nature. The bats are amazing, so many in one spot. You can walk for hours and look at the millions of bats in the trees. Totally amazing place. The views are to the golf course the other side.

Yarra Bend Park is one of the gems of Melbourne. They call it the bush park in the city and it certainly is that. I have run all the trails in the park and one of the best Parkruns in Melbourne is in the park. The park is fabulously maintained by Parks Victoria and they do a great job. This is worth a visit.

What a unique piece of Australian bush right in the city. I lived in the South Eastern suburbs for more than 20 years and never new this existed. Here we also found a unique bat colony of 1000’s that was an amazing scene hanging from the gum trees in a lovely and somewhat serene riverside picnic ground. Will now be on my tourist itinerary for international visitors.

Good place for walking and has big off leash areas for dog to run around.

Great location

Very good place for walking .

Loved it

Nice area

This park is on the banks of the Yarra ‘ It has a one way circuit road though it ‘ it has a dirty old toilet block and a football ground .if Melbourne could have a historical park this would be it ‘ it is located on the banks of the Yarra River

Peaceful spot with a toilet.

amazing place, it's like you are in the bush but so close to the city; just not enough parking

????

Good place to chill out and have a picnic!

A great place to see the roosting Grey Headed Flying Fox colony fly out over the river at sunset.

Its just a park near Melbourne, what's so good about parks, what's so good about Melbourne?

(Translated by Google) This place is especially close to me. My grandfather Michal lived nearby. And his grandchildren (Australian) while on vacation with him were taking a bath here. (Original) To miejsce jest mi szczególnie bliskie . Niedaleko mieszkał mój dziadek Michal . A jego wnuki (Australijskie ) będąc u niego na wakacjach tu się kąpały .

Excellent place

Lovely. Jewel of the North!

A scenic walk

Great dog friendly park, large open spaces and walking paths.

If you catch the bats in the right mood, it's fantastic for all ages!

Huge park to walk around. Due to the size of tbe park it will take a while.

Pathways are great for prams but walking around with kids was problematic because path are shared with cyclists

Very dry, almost no one there, depressing, wouldn't recommend it whatsoever

Beautiful

Excellent park. Has an enormous area of dog friendly off leash areas. Lovely walk down the river.

Great place to run, so close to the cbd but feels soo far away

Beautiful place to walk around, explore different parts of the yarra bend.

Beautiful bit of Australian park and Bush land, along the Yarra River, right in the middle of Melburnian suburbia. Nice for walks, boat houses and the flying foxes lookout.

One of the most beautiful parks, not far away from city, with various activities and environment to offer.

Lovely park with a boathouse cafe and places to rent small boats Big spaces for the dogs offleash as well

Great place for family picnic, or catching up with friends.

This park has a lot of things to uncover. I have only started exploring this park after being in Melbourne for 11 years but I am loving it

Nice park. Nice for playing and for walks. Public toilets and parking avaiy.

Great look out spot

Nice shady park for walks and picnics

Lovely place to relax

Stepping back in time... absolutely beautiful.

Great place for the family❤. Tables are spread far apart if you're looking for some place to have lunch safely. Awesome cafe and river rafting available also if you're keen for some excitement. PLENTY of space for activities✌✌

A great variety of walks near the city. Accessible for most. Google maps gets a bit confusing sometimes though

Beautiful area. Highly recommend!

A lovely park to jog, picnic etc.

Decent park but the playground equipment could be improved (old and small). Toilet facility was a bit far from where we were, but plenty of bins and water fountains. The best part was we spotted a blue tongue!

Pretty good. Hard to find parking during weekend

Banks of river way too steep, the dogs can't get down in the water 😞

Super nice ride today with plenty to see

One of my favourite places to take my dog for a walk. Dog friendly and so many walking trails to choose from. Such serenity for a park in an inner city suburb!

Great view and a nice place for picnic

Toilets are closed

Nice

Beautiful park so close to Melbourne with good views of the city.

Oval great for ball games, shelter nice for BBQ, grass around bbq a bit overgrown though

Nice park! Large grass area.

A little slice of the bush by the river

Who would think such massive bushland so close to CBD! Blessing to be Melbournian. With so many greens around us. It's a natural comfort and therapy for people in stressed COVID-19 period.

Peaceful and serene place close to the city.

Wonderful place for a walk

Beautiful place to walk, lots of hidden paths to explore

An absoloutely gorgeous location at any time of year. With so many wide open spaces it's so hard to believe you're so close to the city!

Spooky bay colony you can see.

It’s amazing to be so close to the city but feels so close to the nature!

Wild inner city wonderland, some of the main paths can get a bit busy on nice days during lockdown, but there is so much to explore and one of my favourite parks

A high tide in June as the river rose till it almost consume the walking paths (it did for a short path) but beautiful walk for families.

One of my best trails to have long walk

Nice place for mtb. Several tracks and jumps. Busy on the weekends

A small but longish, say 300m, manicured garden with water, seating and grasses picnic areas. It's almost hidden, a local gem

Great place for a walk, with or without dogs.

Great place for walkers.. even my kid of 3.5 year enjoyed the trail .

I didnt see the seal and also the river was confusing

It was a great experience highly recomend coming with friends

There's so much you can do in this park, ride boats, play golf, bike, run, walk, enjoy the views of the Yarra River, you can even see the city skyline. It's really great. What could improve are the playgrounds and toilets, they need renovation.

When the weather is good this is a great place to go for a family walk or just to escape city life without having to travel too far. Get down by the Yarra and you feel miles away from civilization.

Love this golf course, scenic, great fun. Although on a wet day not the best field to be playing on (prepare for muddddy shoes) Buggys are well kept too - would be good to upgrade these with eskies on the side like some other courses I've been to have.

This park is awesome for a long walk, be sure to always check Google Maps where you are at, because the path linked to varies way.

Went for the driving range. Plenty of space and the misting fans were a great touch on a warm day. The ball tracing was amazing. The whole layout looked fantastic with the mini golf course which I'll be heading back to with the kids. Plenty to eat and drink plenty of parking available.

Stunning park land heaps of beautiful scenery. If you lucky you might see a platypus while crossing over the bridge. There are heaps of wild rabbits. Highly recommend a visit.

Fabulous place to walk your dog. There is also a place for your water baby dog to swim in the river.

Great for walks, jogging and cycling. U can start from near the boat house and walk or cycle all the way to Collingwood children's farm and then continue on towards the city to federation square which will take u along the river with a nice view.

Great park! Love coming here with the pooch 🐶

Really nice walk in the city with some lovely routes along the river and plenty of wildlife.
