Currawong Bush Park Reynolds Road, Doncaster East, Victoria 3109

Welcome to Currawong Bush Park, located in Doncaster East, Reynolds Road, Australia. This establishment is not only a park but also a point of interest and a popular tourist attraction. It is the perfect place for kids to explore and immerse themselves in the wonders of the outside world.

As you wander through the park, you will discover an array of beautiful sculptures dotted around the trails in the bush. Landscapers, sculptors, and artists have come together to create a natural play space for children. Can you spot the kangaroo? Kids can play in the woven cubby, curl up in the giant nest, or even count the ants the echidna is about to eat.

Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by the opportunity to spot native birds, lizards, and frogs during their adventure. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a wombat or koala. The park also offers picnic areas where you can enjoy a bite to eat surrounded by the beautiful bush or cook up a feast using the onsite barbecue facilities.

Currawong Bush Park boasts a variety of tracks that you can explore on foot. Our self-guided walks will introduce you to different areas of the park, such as the scar tree and the billabong. To access the park, you can park your car at one of the two carparks from the Reynolds Road entrance. Alternatively, you can walk to the park and cross the pedestrian bridge near the Mullum Mullum Trail north of Reynolds Road. This track forms part of a 4.5-kilometer circuit walk through the park. For a shortcut, you can take the driveway to the central area.

If you prefer biking, you can take your bike and use the pedestrian bridge from the Mullum Mullum Trail and the vehicle track from Arnold Drive. However, please note that bikes can only be used on vehicle tracks to protect the park and the animals that call it home.

Please be aware that dogs are not allowed at Currawong Bush Park as it is a protected habitat.

For your safety, it is important to note that all Manningham reserves, including Currawong Bush Park, are closed on days with a total fire ban higher than the severe Fire Danger Rating. Visiting the park on these days puts you at risk and potentially in danger. To check the current Fire Danger Rating or find out if it's a total fire ban day, you can visit the CFA website.

We kindly ask that you inform us if you notice anything unsafe, such as a broken tree branch or damaged playground. Your assistance in maintaining the safety of the park is greatly appreciated. It is worth mentioning that finer fuels such as leaf litter, tree branches, and twigs raise the level of risk within reserves. On the other hand, large fallen trees require a much higher level of heat to burn and provide habitats for native wildlife.

At Manningham Council, we take pride in managing 20 percent of the land in Manningham, but it is important to note that the other 66 percent is privately owned. For information on how to prepare your private property for fire, we encourage you to visit the CFA website.

We also want to remind you that some types of events, such as festivals or school's cross country runs, require special permission to be held on public land.
