Koonung Creek Reserve

Have always been riding my bike passing this awesome reserve. Apparently a private light plane also made an emergency landing there! Not sure if the pilot would pat himself on the back for a technical landing or thank the City of Boroondara for keeping such a space that saved his butt!

Long narrow strip park which is very popular with locals for walking, cycling, picnics, dog play etc.There is street parking alongside the park and toilets, picnic shelters and playgrounds sprinkled along the length of the park which runs parallel with the Eastern Freeway...........and recently, as of 06/02/2023, an impromptu emergency landing strip for an aeroplane, a Piper Cherokee Six, Registration Number: VH-UST, which landed here safely after an engine failure whilst on its return trip to Lilydale Airport.The pilot did a textbook landing magnificently, performing an emergency landing in a highly populated area, on a very short strip of fairly bumpy, hillocky grass with only metres from its wingtips to trees on either side of the hillock on its approach to land.You can check out the final flight on Flight Radar" by typing in its registration number and selecting it's last flight."

What a fantastic place to go for a walk or a swim with your dog.

Fenced playground with a BBQ facilities, only one table available. Toilet isn't in used, unfortunately. There are walking trails available and good for biking too.

Lovely place to sit and for doggos to swim.

Love every centremeter of it

Great park tucked in right next to the Eastern Freeway. Lots of trails with nice wildlife to see. There's also a playground and even a little beach for dogs to swim in. It's definitely worth visiting and has something for most people.

Absolutely fantastic place to walk the dogs off lead.

Awesome for dogs and humans, if only cyclists would take it easy with regard to speeding on a shared pathway.

Great commute trail with lots of green space for picnics, fairly level path for those who need an easy pathway, no steep inclines. Peaceful pond to take a break at and watch the bird life.
