Ferntree Gully Quarry Reserve

The Ferntree Gully Quarry Reserve is a stunning park within a restored quarry. Over the past few years, it’s undergone many renovations and today has more recreational facilities for families to enjoy.

It’s a tranquil, well-maintained outdoor area, so if you’re looking for a quiet place to enjoy nature, this area is highly recommended.

Walks around the lake offer great views. Bring along a picnic mat to lay in the grassy area to take in the breeze and the wildlife. There are several easy-to-navigate walking trails around the area, as well as facilities for kids on bikes and individuals on wheelchairs. Other activities to enjoy here include swimming, bird watching, and fishing. Dogs are allowed too, provided they’re on a leash.

The lake is clean enough for a great day out swimming, and the grass is ideal for picnics. Walking trails are established so it’s fairly easy to get around on foot. Aside from swimming, the lake is also teeming with fish, perfect for fishing if you can bring your own equipment. The view here is incredible, and its lush greenery for as far as the eye can see.

All of these are thanks to recent upgrades and developments which have made the Ferntree Gully Quarry Reserve safer and more convenient with the addition of new amenities. These include the construction of a shelter, boardwalk, and seating. The area is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your pups on a leash. It rarely gets busy, making it a wonderful choice for friends and family to enjoy some quality time.
