John Locke You can spend a whole day exploring the fantastic Tirhatuan Wetlands because there are an extremely large area of woods, a number of big lakes, many water streams, ponds, trees, flowers, grassland, ducks, horses, birds, rabbits, lizards, fish, frogs, aquatic lives and more excitingly, hidden trails and blocked ways. Watch out for snakes because I encountered a big one. Be cautious! An adventure into the huge and remote wetlands is very challenging because there are tall trees but no man. Very hard for you to find a way out if you’re unfamiliar with this place. No one hears your voice for help. Don’t rely on Google Map’s suggested route because it doesn’t exist in real and some of the recommended ways are blocked by the council, locked fence or rivers. Don’t across the rivers by swimming because it’s risky. Snakes are unseen in water and the water is smelly and dirty. Besides, no one is around to save you if you drown. Ask the local residents or shopkeepers since they know better. My videos and photos show one of the hidden entrance ways to enter the Wetlands safely though you have to pass through a shallow stream and unstable rocks. Be cautious: don’t leave any food or trash in the wetlands or disturb the wildlife or the ecosystem because Tirhatuan Wetlands are a protected and fragile reserve. Respect the peaceful nature. Australia is an environmentally friendly and respectful country! If you don’t wanna risk exploring the wetlands, you can simply jog, cycle, walk dogs safely with your children, families or friends along the Dandenong Creek Trail which surrounds the wetlands. There are the Blanton Drive Playground, a bike track, chairs and large scattered areas of grassland around and close to the trail. So, you can have a picnic, BBQ and do sports at the edge of the wetlands.

Rachel McGovern What a great place to walk the dogs. Lots of open paddocks and closed in bushland, so take your pick. Ive even seen a mob of 20+ kangaroos lounging around amongst the tall grasses.

Andrew Pham This park is simply amazing. Its the perfect park to have a morning or evening stroll and walk your dogs. If you ever want to have a relaxing time by yourself, you should definitely try out this park. This park is so calming and relaxing it helps you relax and ease your stress. You can also capture breath taking pictures at this park whenever theres amazing weather.

G Lovely park with lots of play option for kids and adults.. it also has skateboard and bike area, barbecue and picnic area, ample parking space, wheelchair access, public toilets and basketball court...

Kerbray A pleasant walking track around the wetlands with lots of bird wildlife throughput the walk. Theres a bird hide for bird watchers and photographers, and a childrens playground and toilets at one side of the park. Some of the routes as the name suggests are very wet, particularly after a lot of rainfall. A few routes with underpasses are typically flooded during certain months. Great for some fresh air here at least!

Kevin Coade Very wall maintained

Amy May Amazing park one of the best to be honest. Climbing, hamster wheel, zip lines one with a seat, benches and trees, grass areas for picnic, toilets, plenty of parking, climbing, slides, tunnels, swings just so much highly recommend and could easily spend a whole day here. There is skating area when you first come in and playground is further down on the right side. It is gated with child lock entry and has wider gate access for wheelchairs and such.

Anita Harris What an odd spot. Its clear the picnic areas (off Brady Road) have been closed off; signs have even been ripped out, leaving ugly frames in a couple of spots, and the public toilets are closed. But there are areas to park, you can walk in, there are trails, and its still a very pretty spot if youre fond of a wander. I was leaning towards three stars or even two under the circumstances, but then I stumbled on a sign that simply said "Woodland Walk". The little dirt tracks in this area are still being cared for by someone, and its quite a lovely little lattice that I plan on returning to next Autumn when Im hoping fungi will add to the experience. In any case, its small, pretty, and fun to explore.
