Wittons Reserve

Wittons Reserve Wonga Park is a 4.83-hectare conservation area located in Wonga Park, approximately 30 km northeast of Melbourne's central business district.

It is positioned between areas of the Warrandyte State Park and serves as a wildlife corridor.

Visitors to Wittons Reserve can enjoy outdoor activities such as canoeing, swimming, bushwalking, and picnicking. A popular canoeing and kayaking trip from Homestead Road to the reserve offers picturesque views. The walk to Mt Lofty is a must-try for those seeking spectacular views and wildlife spotting, with the chance to see kangaroos and koalas at the summit. Families with small children can also enjoy a small playground with a swing set.

The best time to visit Wittons Reserve is during the summer months (December to February) when the weather is warm and sunny, ideal for outdoor activities. To reach Wittons Reserve, visitors can take the train to Croydon Station and then catch a bus to Homestead Road, which is a short walk from the reserve. Alternatively, there is ample off-street parking available for those who prefer to drive.
