Hallam Valley Trail (Hampton Park - Berwick) - Walking

Hallam Valley Trail (Hampton Park - Berwick)

Located among native wetlands and picturesque surrounds, the 10km circuit meanders through the Hallam Creek Valley and is accessible via a number of key Casey landmarks.

The Hallam Valley Trail consists of flat concrete which is suitable for all abilities. It would take the average pedestrian approximately 2.5 hours to walk to the complete circuit.

The trail has two main parking areas (at the ends of the trail) which are located at KM Reedy Reserve (11 Pound Road, Hampton Park) and Sweeney Reserve (70I Melzak Way, Berwick).

Sweeney Reserve boasts both sport and leisure facilities. The reserve includes football, cricket, baseball/softball, soccer and tennis facilities along with barbecue facilities and a local playground.

Review:

You pass a playground opposite #7 Lochard Terrace in Narre Warren South where there is a rubbish bin. Sadly most people with dogs along the route don't bother collecting the poop and putting it in a bin.

You then pass a grassy area with AFL / rugby goal posts. When you cross a bridge to get to the north side of the creek there is graveyard for discarded shopping trolleys in the creek. The next major intersection is Shrives Road where there is 4.6km to go. On a Sunday we saw model aircraft flying from a field on our left.

The path is an elevated concrete path beside the creek with lots of reeds and tall grass. You then reach the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road to cross. This point is 3.6km from Sweeney Reserve.
