Quarry Park
A new park for the west with mountain bike trails and one of the best views of the city from anywhere.
Overview
Located just a stone's throw from Footscray Park and the banks of the Maribyrnong River, this haven of green space offers a slice of tranquility away from the buzz of Melbourne's inner west.
Over the past few years, the former quarry has been steadily transformed into a lush public open space complete with picnic areas, rolling green slopes and some top-notch views of the city skyline.
But it's perhaps Quarry Park's mountain bike facilities that have earned it the strongest following of late, with a series of bike trails, a dedicated skills park and pump tracks for junior riders all completed in late 2019.
A slew of other improvements and additions are also in the works including plans for a Korean War Memorial, which will honour the Australians who served in the Korean War from 1950–53.
