Yarra River Park isn't actually one singular park, but rather a collection of parklands that line the Yarra River as it flows through Melbourne. This means there's a huge variety of things to do along the river, depending on which area you visit. Here's a quick rundown of some of the most popular spots:
Southbank is another lively precinct on the banks of the Yarra River. Here you'll find a number of restaurants, cafes, and bars, as well as the Eureka Tower, Melbourne Arts Centre, and Crown Casino.
Located right in the heart of Melbourne's CBD, Birrarung Marr is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Relax on the grassy hills, take a stroll along the river, or enjoy a free concert or performance at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
If you're traveling with kids, then a visit to the Collingwood Children's Farm is a must. Here they can get up close to a variety of farm animals, learn about sustainable food production, and even take a pony ride.
Melbourne's largest area of natural bushland, Yarra Bend Park is perfect for getting back to nature. Hike or bike along the trails, have a picnic in the scenic surrounds, or even try your hand at golf or fishing. The park is also home to the Studley Park Boathouse, where you can hire a canoe or kayak and explore the river from a different perspective.
No matter what your interests are, you're sure to find something to enjoy along the Yarra River Parklands. So why not take a stroll, hire a bike, or pack a picnic and explore this beautiful part of Melbourne?
