Aberfeldie Park

Aberfeldie Park is a vibrant getaway nestled on the majestic Maribyrnong River and is popular for walkers, runners, cyclists and dog walkers.

So if you are looking for a nice place to go for a walk or bring your kids for a bike ride, look no further than Aberfeldie Park.

This pet-friendly park allows visitors to bring their dogs along for a walk, provided they are on a leash. Dog lovers may also join the weekly dog school held at the park each Saturday.

Aberfeldie Park is popular because it is home to the Essendon Athletics Club and has a 400-metre running track as well as gym equipment which can be used for free.

The park’s proximity to some of the most popular restaurants and pubs in Essendon makes it a popular weekend destination. Go and enjoy a delicious meal at the Boat House cafe or make your way to Anglers Tavern for a refreshing glass of Australia’s best beers out in their beer garden.

Aberfeldie Park is easily accessible from Melbourne CBD and is served by different bus and tram routes. Take trams #57 or #82 and alight at Maribyrnong Road. The park is only a short walk from here.
