AREA FEATURES

Pedestrian access is available at all times and vehicle entry is available from Templestowe Road, Bulleen.
As one of the major recreation areas situated on the Yarra River, Banksia Park covers 23 hectares of gently undulating open space, including a significant ephemeral wetland area. There are a number of wood barbecues (wood is provided), picnic tables, shelter and a playground is available for children. A Heritage Trail explains the history of the park and the special significance of the Aboriginal sites. As an immediate neighbour to the park, the Heide Museum of Modern Art seeks to tell the story of modern art in Australia and has a nationally significant ‘Arts Parks Precinct’ including a sculpture landscape in Banksia Park.
