Long
narrow
strip
park
which
is
very
popular
with
locals
for
walking,
cycling,
picnics,
dog
play
etc.
There
is
street
parking
alongside
the
park
and
toilets,
picnic
shelters
and
playgrounds
sprinkled
along
the
length
of
the
park
which
runs
parallel
with
the
Eastern
Freeway.
..........and
recently,
as
of
06/02/2023,
an
impromptu
emergency
landing
strip
for
an
aeroplane,
a
Piper
Cherokee
Six,
Registration
Number:
VH-UST,
which
landed
here
safely
after
an
engine
failure
whilst
on
its
return
trip
to
Lilydale
Airport.
The
pilot
did
a
textbook
landing
magnificently,
performing
an
emergency
landing
in
a
highly
populated
area,
on
a
very
short
strip
of
fairly
bumpy,
hillocky
grass
with
only
metres
from
its
wingtips
to
trees
on
either
side
of
the
hillock
on
its
approach
to
land.
You
can
check
out
the
final
flight
on
"Flight
Radar"
by
typing
in
its
registration
number
and
selecting
it's
last
flight.
