Cherry Lake Park - Altona (VIC)

5 /5 Jarrod Bell: A retarding basin as part of the local stormwater system created in partnership with Melbourne water in the local council. By turning this into a wetlands, they have created a wonderful ecosystem for birds wildlife and flora, also creating a great place for the community to come exercise. Spend time with each other and enjoying nature. The path around the outside of the lake is grateful, walking, jogging or running, and is wide enough to be shared by those on wheels too. Well worth a visit if you’re looking for a place to kill some time.

5 /5 Winston Ng: Great local park and lake for long walks (with a pet if you have one) or to jog. Going counter clockwise from the carpark avoids the crowds. A fair bit of bird life along the lake for the keen feathered watchers

5 /5 JP: Beautiful small little park. Lake is huge. Two unisex flushable toilets. Playground on site. We didnt go right around this lake, but by the entry, a few people were fishing, sonwe dropped lines here. I see this lake has a few carps. We didnt catch any, as we didnt stay more than 15 minutes.

5 /5 John Locke: A large lake with many birds. Large area of grassland for you to sunbathe or just sleep. You can also read books or listen to the sounds of the birds and lake. People also enjoy running, cycling and fishing. Prepare sunscreen, insect repellent and sunglasses.

5 /5 Betty Bird: Love this park and its walking tracks. So close to funky Altona Shops the wonderful new pier and the beach. My old childhood haunt. Definitely worth a visit.
