Gardiners Creek Reserve

Gardiners Creek Reserve is a scenic linear park stretching for about 2 kilometers in Box Hill South. It offers extensive walking paths that meander along the creek and over bridges, perfect for a leisurely stroll or bike ride.

For families, there is a playground and picnic areas with barbecues. Nature lovers will appreciate the wetlands and floodplains, which are an excellent place for bird watching, such as the Purple Water Hound and the Lesser Cormorant Sparrow.

The park is dog-friendly with designated areas where dogs can run without a leash. The connection to other trails creates a network of recreational trails, making it part of Melbourne's larger parks system.
