Parks are like the lungs of a city.
And they're great for our own lungs too – places to connect with nature and get active.
Whether you're into walking, running or cycling, we're delivering track and trail projects in urban parks to help keep visitors and local communities moving.
The Main Yarra Trail is one of Melbourne's iconic routes. Following the Birrarung Yarra River between the north-eastern suburbs and the city, the trail connects green spaces like Yarra Bend Park and Westerfolds Park. We're adding our own iconic feature – a sweeping, elevated pathway.
On-track to open this later year, the project will dramatically improve how people can travel along the trail, regardless of their accessibility requirements or choice of transport.

Speaking of improving journeys – the Bay Trail extension project now delivers a faster, safer and more direct journey for the community to walk, run and cycle from Williamstown to Point Cook Coastal Park.
This clever piece of work has reduced a 3.8km detour down to just over 400 metres of continuous, flat, travel through this area of coastal landscapes, wildlife and peaceful surrounds.

Visitors to Plenty Gorge Park will soon be able to wind through sections of beautiful bushland in Melbourne's north-east, with works underway on the first section of the Plenty River Trail.
