Trail Guide to Parks 7, 8 and 9
Take a self-guided walk at any time using our Trail Guide. Start at the corner of Melbourne Street and Mann Terrace (#1 on the map below). It is about 4 km in length. Allow about two hours to complete.
This Park contains three distinct areas that sit easily alongside each other. There is a bushland trail, a “community hub”, both landscaped in 2016, and a well-used sporting oval, where the Prince Alfred College and its Old Collegians are seeking approval to build new facilities in 2021.
The bushland trail is a meandering path through thriving re-vegetation. Giant river red gums and sugar gums provide habitat for possums, lorikeets, magpies and other birds, as well as cover for all the under-storey plantings. The trail is literally framed by wooden lintels featuring dragonflies poised as if to take off over your head at any moment.
