Grants Picnic Ground

Grants Picnic Ground is a beautiful spot for picnics and one of the most popular destinations for outdoor lovers in the Dandenong Ranges. It was best known for its bird-feeding, but as of Wednesday 12 February 2020, bird feeding will no longer be offered at Grants Picnic Ground.

The picnic ground still provides a tranquil setting and is the perfect place for a leisurely afternoon picnic with family and friends.

The Margaret Lester Forest Walk awaits for an enjoyable walk. This walking trail has an easy grade and is well suited for visitors with limited mobility. The walk is only a short 300-metre loop and only takes around 30 minutes to complete. The Hardy Gully Nature Walk, on the other hand, is categorised as having a moderate grade and this makes it ideal for those who love an easy stroll. This walk is a 700-metre looped track and takes around 45 minutes to complete.

The third trail is the Eastern Sherbrooke Forest Walk. It is about 7 kilometres long and marks the start and finish point at the picnic grounds. This walk takes around 2 hours to complete and provides an opportunity to come to see the famous lyrebirds that are best known for their ability to mimic dozens of sounds. Note that this trail has a couple of steep sections and may become slippery when it is wet.

In addition to the many outdoor activities, Grants Picnic Ground is a hub of activity for nature lovers. There are picnic facilities here that include an accessible table, BBQ facilities as well as a parking bay. There are also toilets available for use and Grants on Sherbrooke Cafe where you can purchase food, drinks and souvenirs.

Grants Picnic Ground the perfect stop while on your journey to other attractions within the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley.
