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.
When can I visit the park?
You can visit Wattle Park now. New park areas and facilities will open from Spring 2022.
