Newlands Spring walk

This circular walk takes around 45 minutes. It heads through a pretty woodland area before meandering through the residential streets of Newlands Spring, incorporating green spaces and some country views in the summer. Then explore Melbourne Park before heading back to your starting point. 

The walk leaders have set a specific route for the walk and risk assessed it, to provide the safest walking environment possible. This means the route cannot be changed.
