Karkarook Park

Karkarook Park is a prime example of successful land rehabilitation, transforming a former sand mine into a thriving 40-hectare parkland. The centrepiece is the 15-hectare lake, which is popular for non-powered watercraft like canoes, kayaks, and small sailing boats. A 6km network of walking and cycling trails winds through the park's wetlands and newly planted bushland. The park is a haven for birdlife. It's very well-equipped for families, with a large playground, multiple picnic and barbecue areas, and a small jetty for fishing. A designated off-leash area is available for dogs. The park gates open and close at set times. Entry is free.
