About the park

We are working with Parks Victoria to upgrade facilities at Wattle Park in Burwood.

The work will include an all-abilities nature play space and a shared walking and running track that will encourage local communities and visitors to enjoy social and healthy outdoor activities.

Where is the park located?

Wattle Park is in Burwood, about 15 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD.
