Greswell Wildlife Reserve

Wildlife park

👍👍 I lived in Bundoora for almost 5 years and this is the first time I come here. Honestly, I would come much earlier if I knew about it before. There are a few tracks inside to walk in, besides, you can go deep in the forest if you like to watch wildlife. I would encourage everyone lives in the nearby... People often mention walk, kangaroos, reserve, birds, wildlife, Great, beautiful, nature,

    This is a really great wildlife reserve, it's very peaceful for a lovely brisk walk, and their are different trails that take you around the circumference of the reserve, you can also see a bunch of Kangaroos here as well.

    I enjoyed visiting this reserve, however I found it somehow difficult to go through with my kids and their pram. Plus I went there because I heard there’s kangaroos around but have not seen any.

    Great bushland reserve within greater Melbourne for trail running. Spent a morning running around all the trails. Its not very attractive for things like picnics and the like but great to get active in.

    Beautiful, peaceful and calm place to get away from the daily hustle and bustle and stressful daily routines. Admire nature's beauty. Listen to the birds whistling and chirpong. Enjoy the wind breeze. Be thankful to God for every single moment of life. I highly recommend this place to all nature lovers.

    I saw treehouses, bee hives, kangaroos, Utes, kookaburras, wildflowers, goonbags, and creeks. It was mostly awesome. Some crackheads though.

    what a beautiful reserve. I had no idea it even existed. Ranger was fabulously knowledgeable.
  • 5/5 Aidan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful nature reserve in the north eastern suburbs of Melbourne, with various trails to walk and explore. Great for families, there are little areas where kids can play within the environment. Was hoping to see some kangaroos but unfortunately they were hiding the day I went. However there is a large range of other wildlife to see, such as birds and frogs. It is also mostly flat.
  • 4/5 Michelle W. 4 years ago on Google
    A great place for a walk with the kids
  • 5/5 Jon H. 3 years ago on Google
    Lots of trails for walking and plenty of native wildlife. Kangaroos, possums, kookaburras, parrots and more
  • 5/5 Evan C. 2 years ago on Google
    A real surprise to find this bush setting right in the middle of suburbia. A huge range of birds make their home here and a pod of kangaroos were spotted on our visit. From dense scrub to more open grassed areas, even a billabong, this reserve has much to offer. Barbeque and playground areas in easy reach just outside the main gate. A hidden gem.
  • 5/5 Vanessa S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a beautiful place if u would like some piece n quiet n just to hear the birds chirping the kangaroos jumping n just a beautiful smell of fresh air breath it all in and soak up the sun loving life

    great for walking, and we can see kanguruu if we go there soon in the morning
  • 4/5 Lindsay M. 4 years ago on Google
    Big scrub land with several walking tracks, all gravel. Can be boggy during winter. It's a nature reserve with kangaroos and many birds. School groups walk through here regularly. Dogs are prohibited. Closest reserve to my home, good for exercise.
  • 5/5 Christoph S. 6 years ago on Google
    The best if you're into nesting. Dogs won't swim here.
