Westerfolds Park to Templestowe Village Walk (Templestowe Lower)
This is an excellent stretch for your legs with a 5 km riverside walk through bushy parkland, often accompanied by kangaroos, leading to a steep climb to Templestowe Village. This is a good walk for friends, couples and active families.
The trail crosses the Yarra River while traversing riverine eucalypt forests and open grasslands. Kangaroos, wombats and echidnas are often seen along these tracks. Kookaburras can be heard from the treetops. After exiting Westerfolds Park you head straight up a steep climb along Milne Street. Don't complain, the locals do it all the time! It is worth it as it brings you into the ambient Templestowe Village. Cake, coffee, and plenty more await you before embracing several historical points of interest. The walk then heads downhill to Ruffey Creek and back to your starting point.
Facilities are drinking fountain, playground, toilets, cafes and retail shops.
Start and finish at Finns Reserve, Templestowe.
