Lillydale Lake (Lilydale)
This attractive and popular lake is a shallow (2 to 2.5m deep) flood-retarding basin located on Olinda Creek, south of Lilydale. The Lillydale Lake and Park were officially opened to the public in July 1990. The Park covers an area of over 100 hectares.
Come along and have a picnic or barbecue and then take a walk around the 28 hectare lake or just lie back and watch the clouds roll by while the children enjoy the sandy beaches or fantastic playground. There are 10 kilometres of shared trail at the Park, so if you don't feel like walking - bring your bicycle along and take a ride around.
Dogs are allowed within the Park and certain areas allow for dogs to be allowed off their leads.

Review:
There is a nice walking track around the lake, nice playground (but the original one was better), very good water play park, picnic facilities and three separate dog off leash areas. Food trucks are always there on busy days. Note that swimming is not permitted in the lake.
