👍 Nice peaceful Reserve but not as many views of the river as you might expect. Having said that there are some beautiful places to sit on a bench and enjoy the vistas. People often mention walk, Yarra, river, walking,

    Wilson's reserve is a really excellent walk. The walk is quite easy, mostly level with a solid well used dirt track and in places a wooden board walk. Very pleasant stroll along the river and through the wetlands. Toilet facilities are close to the car park.

    A peaceful little park on the banks of the Yarra river. this place is stacked with history. It has walking tracks and a swimming spot which is not recommended to swim, also fishing and kyacking. You can also walk your dog here or ride your bike. There are no toilets’ just a old block that’s not been used for fifty years’ worth a look

    It's hard to believe one can be transported so easily from a buzzing city into tranquil bushland with the wondrous sound of Bellbird throughout. The bike trail along the Yarra River is a must.

    Wilson Reserve is tranquility at it's best. Magnificent walking and bike track's along the Yarra River in Ivanhoe. The walking paths are flanked by Australian natural bush. There are also a number of billabongs teaming with wildlife.

    Beautiful place to have a nice walk close to the Yarra River. Good for cycling too. Peaceful place and less crowded. Hardly we can see people here. It's good for a couple or a family with kids. Just sit and relax on the river bed and listen to noises of nature.

    Great trails mainly in the shade. Access to banks of the river and links to Yarra trail. Dog friendly. Also links to playgrounds and ovals.

    Good walks and lots of parking in a couple of different areas. Maybe I didn’t see them but there didn’t seem to be any maps so we ended up hitting a few dead ends. Still a good walk with the dog. Glad we didn’t take the pram as it was so muddy that we’d have got stuck!

    Favourite place to walk after work or first thing in the morning. It's a sensory experience walking around here, particularly as all the birds are waking up.

  • 5/5 Andrew G. 2 years ago on Google
    Always good to walk around old billabong enjoying sounds of bell birds ( summer) following path looping down and along river coming out with the Ivanhoe Golf Links to one side and billabong the other appearing once again finishing where you started at carpark. Looking from carpark expanse of sports and open tended fields. Comes with high recommendation anytime of the year...😀😀✔✔

    Quiet little spot along the Yarra walking trail. Very limited seating, with some equipment for kids to play on. Best avoided after rain as the walking track does not drain well
