Best places: Nature preserves in Dandenong, Australia

👍👍 What the council has done to improve the beauty of this park is impressive. The people that visit this also help to keep it beautiful by cleaning up after themselves and minimising rubbish impact to the environment. The toilet facilities here are also kept cleaned and fresh

👍 A nice enough park. Relatively flat, easy walking. Lots of different bird species around the water. Overall the park is clean and well maintained. There’s also a playground and plenty of bike trails. The park is part of a long chain of reserves along the Dandenong Creek. Don’t confuse this park wit...

👍👍 Open and Green area with community hall with facilites for social functions.

👍 A well maintained, beautiful nature preserve in a residential area. Enjoyed a peaceful walk while spotting different varieties of wild birds as it was not busy at all. There are several walking trails and planty of open areas. There's a kids' playground as well.

👍👍 One of the best paths for walking.

👍 What an odd spot. It's clear the picnic areas (off Brady Road) have been closed off; signs have even been ripped out, leaving ugly frames in a couple of spots, and the public toilets are closed.
