Quarry transformed to parkland |
Via Margaret Street Newport Melbourne, VIC 3015 +61 3 9932 1000 |
The only clue that this great park was once a quarry and landfill is the design of the picnic shelters. Built out of rough timber and corrugated iron to resemble the quarry workers' huts, the shelters provide protection from the elements and can be reserved by phone. The park is large enough to have its own full-time ranger and features a lake, fantastic adventure playground, amphitheatre, walking tracks and barbecues. A wetlands area planted with native flora is now home to many species of birds, amphibians and reptiles. Review © 2009, Wcities |
