It was rather difficult to find the entrance to the carpark coming from Mt Dandenong Road. It enters via a narrow road next to petrol/service station. There is a lack of simple and more informative direction signs, and I took some trial and error to find my friends who had already arrived and were waiting at the pavilion. It requires a few minutes to walk from the carpark to the pavilion which is in the middle of an a lake, connected by a bridge. It can be quite a distance to carry food stuff to the open picnic area or the pavilion. Once in the park proper, it is hard to believe the busy Maroondah Highway, the Ringwood train and bus station are just close by or just about 10-minute walk. It is a great park covering 8.5 hectares with the playground, shelters, seats, public toilets, barbecues, bushland and approximately 1.1km long walking and cycling trails. The many ducks inhibit the lake are protected. Visitors are not to feed the duck with bread as it is unsuitable food for them, and waste bread causes bacterial growth in the lake, which can be deadly to the ducks. While we were there, a magpie came to "share" our food. Now that many of my friends and I are not in active employment, we can enjoy the tranquil setting of the park on weekdays. If you enjoy my review, please give me a Like. Thank you for reading.

Ringwood Lake Park has been a family favourite for generations, and is going from strength to strength. A total rebuild of the playground and amenities opened in 2018, bringing a fresh new feel, and off street wheelchair accessible parking to complement the wheelchair swing. There is a walking track around the while length of the lake, and a lovely wooden bridge across the middle. Walking tracks link up to the Mullem Creek trail and across the railway lines up to Ringwood East, making foot/pedal access as good as or better than automotive. A small cafe strip is just across the highway via pedestrian lights, or there are four bbqs available near the playground. The iconic wooden carvings of native animals are still spotted around the play area, adding to the overall charm. Not a bad spot at all.

Some places on this earth need little to no upkeep to hold a warm and wonderful place in your heart. Unbelievably and, until this year unbeknownst to me, this is such a place. I remember coming here as a young butterball with my slimline skateboard (it had a long handle and had a specific name and purpose), my brother and my family, and straddling the board at top speed down the path, skidding to a halt before plummeting into a potentially watery grave. The playground, BBQ's and toilets may have changed, but the feelings and fun remain on high! Pick a sunny Sunday to venture down to maximise the positive vibes, as the sound of children playing tends to transport us all to a time we all thought long forgotten, but very much alive in us all.

We really enjoyed this park, the wheelchair accessible playground is great for all ages, even our two year old managed to have fun. It also has a sand pit although we didn't play in it. But you need to keep a close eye on younger ones, the lake is right next to the playground and is unfenced. Tracks along the lake are very well maintained, great for bikes and scooters. Only downside is there is barely any parking. There is only a small parking lot specifically for wheelchair users, and a few off street parking along the main road and those get filled up very quickly on weekends.

Wonderful park that's got something for everybody. Playground for the kids. Lots of tracks for walking or riding. Good covered areas for a picnic or a bbq with friends. The lake has plenty of life and ducks to entertain the kids.
Playground
Plenty of play options for all kids ages and activeness. Slides, climbing bars, swings, ropes, sandpits and more.
Restrooms
Good restrooms available next to playground
Picnic area
Covered and uncovered picnic areas with electric BBQs available. Lots of lawn space for bigger parties

It felt spacious and the playground seems quite new. As a young kid I grew up in the area and have always loved the lake and the bridges. My kids loved seeing the ducks and having more than sufficient room to cycle around.
Playground
There's a few slides and climbing options. It was quite new though a bit limited.
Restrooms
Standard modern public park toilets.
Dog-friendliness
Seems quite friendly with water fountains for dogs too.
Picnic area
There's quite a few places available around the lake.

It's a lovely place to visit, near to the train station just a few minutes walk from station and near to the eastland shopping center...I love the way they build the cottage like thing in the middle of the lake..alot of birds and the lake is also good and lovely, I spend alot of time viewing the surrounding, can also see alot of people in the park and children playing around the area...i absolutely love watching birds sitting in the middle of the cottage they build over the lake.... #nature #birds #bridge

A very nice park, great modern playground and a reminder of the history of Ringwood with the mining information, it is a pity the replica hut and poppet head are long gone but thankfully the display boards with the information are still in place. The lake has a calming tranquil effect and I think it world be nice to have a little paddle in a canoe or kayak on the lake for people new to watercraft ( there are no signs saying you CAN'T do it, and there is a dock with ample space to launch a canoe or kayak)

Amazing. One of the best place. Loved the nature. How beautiful this world Allah pak nas created for us. I love it.
Playground
Fun filled play area for kids. Worth every second... there.
Restrooms
Clean restrooms.
Dog-friendliness
Dog friendly area. A place where dogs can have fun too.

Ringwood lake park has a lake with ducks, walking trails, electric BBQs, toilets and children’s park. The play slides, swings and sand play areas are located slightly apart from each other giving a feeling of scattered throughout the park. This gives kids to explore around and also for families to have their own secluded areas. The equipment and facilities are quite new. The car parking can be difficult during peak times. But otherwise an awesome park, with something for everyone.

This park has been recently updated. Its beautiful and nicely landscaped. There are toilets, undercover barbecue eara next to the playground, a lovely boardwalk and lots of open spaces to play ball games or picnic. The playground itself has varying equipment from sandpit and swings for littleies, and climbing frames and tall slides for the daring older child! There is wheelchair accessible parking swing and ramp onto the main playground equipment.

This place is fantastic for families. BBQ, cleanest toilest, pleanty of things for youngest to older kids to enjoy. Bike & walking trails also available. Please take your children's sandpit equipments with you as this place has the most incredible sandpit for them to enjoy. I love this place. Car parking is bit difficult though as it has no big car parking area. Only the side of the road. But drop off parking is available inside the park.

Excellent small oasis. Great walk for families with younger kids. Access to the water is easy so make sure kids are 100% supervised. (Also, there is direct access to the train lines, with a train crossing gate, so make sure the nippers are always in sight). Extensive playground, toilets, some historical mining points of interest and well landscaped paths and bush. Great open areas as well. Very easy to access. Resident ducks as well :)

Really nice place with something for everyone. Great for families with children as there is a good playground area. The only thing that lets this place down is the filthy stinking toilets. Council should be cleaning them twice a day at least. Disgusting.
Restrooms
Worst part of the Lake and lets the whole place down. Stinking and filthy. Not sure why these wouldnt be cleaned twice a day considering the popularity of the park.

First time I've been in here a very long time! Great improvements, very accessible and inclusive for those with additional needs. Ringwood Lake Park has a permanent Changing Places bathroom facility catering for people with a severe disability. The park also features four unisex toilets – two being fully accessible and providing baby changing facilities. From what I could see the Barbecues looked exceptionally clean.

New equipment and modern public and accessible toilets make this park a winner with families and young kids. While feeding the ducks is now prohibited (according to the signs) the park allows for a leisurely walk around the lake, wheelchair enabled swings and a couple of electric bbq's. My kids love the double swing where the little one and the older one can sit on the same swing facing each other.

Great amenities, lots of toilets, playground, accessible walking track and parking, nice green grass, and the lake itself is quite pleasant. Not recommended for swimming, but lots of people fishing. Ducks a plenty. There's a subway across the road along other food options but plenty of tables and seats and BBQs as well. Water taps available including for dogs, who are welcome on leash.

Went there to kill some time with my grandson whilst his mum was busy at an appointment close by. Well we couldn't have been more delighted. It has a great play area for the littlies and a lovely walkway across the lake. We loved sitting at the stop and enjoy the lake half way across. It's covered in, well has a roof and somewhere to sit and a beautiful breeze on a warm day.

I go to Ringwood lake every day to rude my bike it is wonderful and peaceful. It’s super close to the shopping centre so I can get a snack afterwards. I am a photographer so Ringwood lake is an awesome spot to take photos. I have been many times with my friends and it’s loverly spot to relax, hangout and have fun. I definitely recommend going here. Five stars from me.

Little park with small lake, quite beautiful and relaxing park, located near to the main road, it has some car park and public toilet. There is also a playground for children to play. The lake is clean and sometimes there are some ducks swimming in the lake, but we are not allowed to feed them. A beautiful and relaxing place to rest or to spend some time with family

Amazing and disability friendly. They have swings made to fit wheelchairs and for older people who require special seating and belts for swings. Wheelchair accessible parking is also now available. Massive play structures with amusement for all age groups plus the walkway around the lake. The renovations completed to the park are nothing short of amazing

A beautiful place to visit, just tucked off to the side of the Maroondah Hwy a few mins walk from the centre of town. There is a number of walking/cycling paths around the lake and plenty of grassed areas to relax and have a picnic on. You can see quite a number of water birds on and around the lake, which makes it a great spot for the kids to enjoy.

There is a great trail within this very good park. Follows around the lake and links up with other trails and parks. Plenty of seating along the way with lots of birdlife. Toilets, BBQ's, picnic facilities and large playground not too far away. Open spaces for play and relaxing. Not too far from public transport and Eastland Shopping Centre.

Apart from the bbq’s turning off fairly early in the evening, great place to have a BBQ with kids or thanks to the great playground and access to a toilet block right in the main area. Would have given it a higher ranking if the BBQs didn’t turn off as soon as they did. Just consider getting there in mind the BBQs shut off around 9pm

Awesome playground for kids (sand pit, swings (including one for wheelchair-bound users), metal slides and a carousel). The toilets are also conveniently located right beside the playground. Paths are wide enough for kids to cycle/pedal safely and with plenty of open grass fields for picnics. Barbeques are also available for use.

This is a lovely bushland setting with all the amenities including BBQ and picnic tables, toilets and upgraded playground for the kids. Parking is available just off Mt Dandenong road It’s one of our ‘go to’ places for sketching and we often see a group doing Tai Chi and other exercise genres. A great asset to this community.

Lovely bush park with an interesting mining history. Cool in summer and cold in winter. Seems not overly crowded. Has toilets and a few bbq areas. Could do with more tables and seats. But bushy and peaceful. Great relaxing place to visit. Watch kids near the water. Has lots of model boats use it at times. Worth a visit.

It was a beautiful sunny day, loads of people & kids everywhere because of school hols. I had a most enjoyable walk around the lake but the water looks very murky and it would be good if the council could clean it up. I don't know how possible that is but a most enjoyable saunter around …

Beautiful park to take your dog for a walk on leash, with plenty of walking trails and some historic sites scattered around. The lake is stunning and there's plenty of birdlife on the waters edge. A few picnic areas and an interesting bridge across the lake, but otherwise a pleasant walking area.

Ringwood park is a beautiful place to bring your children or grandchildren. The playground is lovely and offers plenty of scope for a variety of ages to run around and use up some of their energy. It's also one of my favourite places for photos featuring my grandchildren and nieces children

Lovely park, plenty of things to see and do. A great playground overlooking the lake, the only downside is it is not fenced and children have direct access to the water when playing. Bike paths, wheelchair access, a few undercover spaces with BBQ facilities and toilet facilities available.

Awesome park for the kids or for the next BBQ. Plenty of room in the kids play area. This park is equipped with new rest rooms, BBQ areas, wheelchair accessible swing, water refill stations and plenty of walking trails. We go to this park all the time and my kid enjoys the play area a lot.

Nice for walk around small lake. Dogs should be on leash all time and there is no off leash area which is a pity. Playground and BBQ area make this park a perfect place for a picnic with family . Plenty of car park next to the park . Walking distance to east land shopping centre

An excellent place for kids. Kids can do lots of activities. Parking is little bit difficult. There's no specific parking area. Water, toilets and bbq facilities available. lots of places to sit and wait. You can not feed the ducks in the lake. There are number of huts.

Great new park with lots to do. Not great for toddlers although there is water play. Very spread out so if you are taking multiple children could be hard to see them all at different parts of the park. Parking nearby is also hard to get so be prepared to park and walk.

This is a beautiful place for a walk around the lake in a natural Australian setting. Also seats at random places, some picnic tables but lawn areas for sitting and a wonderful children's playground. I would just like to see the water in the lake looking less polluted.

We visited on a busy public holiday and surprisingly easily found a free bbq and seating. BBQs were clean and located close to the playground. Playground is great with lots of different apparatus for different ages and abilities. Easy walk around the lake after lunch.

A marvelous children's play area very well thought out! I find it quite entertaining as an adult too every time I visit this place. The trail is also beautiful, dense and calm free from the hustle of the outside world. A great place to hang out for a full day!

Quite a popular neighbourhood park with a lake enjoyed by families of 2-legged, 4-legged and feathered varieties alike. Pleasant walking trail to go a few rounds to get the desired workout. Been there a few times. See photos of all facilities available there.

Parking is far away. There are toilets and a playground but playground leads straight on to the lake so a bit frustrating for young children. You need to watch them very closely. The new playground is not great for little ones. I liked the old one better.

The park has been renovated. Great central climbing frame, with multiple slides for different ages coming off it. Bonus points for kids who climb to the top of the tower! Also good set of swings, a sandpit and a water course. Ideal for 3+ ages, I'd say.

Good little play area for big kids and little kids it has toilet facilities wheelchair access and lots of things to do. When you're bored of all the play equipment you can go down to the Lake part and check out the ducks. It is also pet friendly.

Have recently visited with my children after the recent renovation to the playground. It offers great variety but is rather close to the water and can be a worry with a fast moving toddler. Some more seating around the playground would be good.

Renovated park is awesome. But the slides are a little too steep. The kids fly off the tank at the bottom and is a bit dangerous. But the design is awesome. Really cool and well thought out.... Just not enough ramp at bottom of slides. (Plural)

Beautiful park with new playground, huge sandpit and a water tap. Kids of all ages happily play there. Different slides, monkey bars, swings, barbecue areas and open grounds make this place quite popular. Perfect place for kids parties …

Small park with a lake and paths around it. Good for a short walk around, enjoying the views and spotting different birds. The barbecue area and playground are well maintained. The bike trail from Heathmont that passes through here also has

Pretty good park for kids , too our 3yr olds here as we stay to our local park 10 away, I think better than Croydon park as it's got harder activities and bigger slider to use to match their age better. The BBQs were actually pretty clean

Pleasant weekend picnic spot within 30min from the city. Play area is very good for kids under 10. There Nice trails for bikers and walkers and a cute little bridge to cross the lake. Ducks n Birds make you feel very close to the nature.

Nice place to go for kids birthday spending time with your nephew and niece but the BBQ are not always clean it be nice if the council actually keep a eye on the BBQ and clean them when other people dont as it just ruin it for others

Great park for all aged children. Has a variety of swings and slides, a water play area, sandpit as well as plenty of space for picnics or ball games. Walking and bike tracks around the lake and close to coffee shops across the road.

A great suburban park. Good playground for the kids, lots of different zones for picnics or open space for the kids to run around. The lake is nice, the creek feeding it not as much, but overall it's a great park to have nearby

Great place to spend time with family and has plenty of activities to keep kids busy for a couple of hours. Great playground for all ages, a BBQ facility, lots of shades and a toilet facility, you can also walk along the lake.

Nice park in the town with a lake at the centre. Play area for children, picnic areas and walking paths are the main features. Accessible Parking available from main street. For car parking, enter from area next to Caltex.

Lovely place for a picnic or to walk the dogs. The park is clean and well looked after. There is a large toilet block near the playground which is also well maintained. Lots of gas BBQ and outdoor table /chairs available

Very scenic park with a playground along the lake. The playscape was very innovative with a giant slide and lots of space for kids to run around. For adults, there are easy 30 mins to 1 hr scenic walks around the creek.

My children had a great time exploring this park. They loved the bridge and watching the ducks. The toilets were clean. I liked water stations around the place as my children always drink more than I can carry.

Hadn't been for a while, but it doesn't disappoint. Great kids playground which my 2 and 3 year old loved. Nice walks around the park, BBQ facilities and good disabled access. Parking is very limited however.

my son loves this playground. there are plenty of plays for kids to go running or climbing. there are public toilets, enough parking available, also water dispenser and more. it's perfect for birthday parties

The place is very popular with all ages and for walker's it's great. You are able to extend your walk with other linking tracks, whoever the lake it self is very average and I don't think we will picnic their

Pretty lake with walking and biking trails around it. A walking bridge crosses it. There is a childrens playground, picnic tables and electric BBQ.
Playground
Swings, climbing playground, and a slide.

The park has been remodelled amd is AMAZING. Park, lake, tracks, pinic, toliets you can easily spend a few hours here and the kids wont complain. I will be back for sure. Great improvement lovely area.

Great park for a variety of needs. Bbq, fantastic playground, beautiful walk around the lake, good spots for picnics. Most grassed area is either narrow or on a slope so not as suitable for ball games.

Good play ground for all ages, bar b Que facility, lots of shades and toilet facilities. Great Wall around the lake and some people were doing fishing as well. You can easily spent few hours there.

One of the largest parks with lake, a little forest and a large playground. We love this playground as there are lots of options for the kids. There are good facilities for barbecue and picnic too.

Lovely park. Excellent undulating walk round the lake on a sealed path. Fabulous new playground. Award winning toilet facilities. Ducks, bbqs, a stage, shelters. Everything you could possibly want!

It's nice track for walking, running and riding a scooter/bicycle. The playground has 3 different slides. Kids love the sand pit there with water feature. There are nice BBQ and picnic areas too.

Beautiful lake park with multiple bbq spots and benches. Huge play area to keep kids busy along with few cycling tracks. Great spot for a picnic, birthday parties or even just a day out with kids

Our favorite neighborhood park! Beautiful lake, great activities for kids, perfect for families and friends, also great for picnics. We celebrated our son’s first birthday. They’ve BBQ sheds too.

A good makeover on playground. Medium size well layout. BBQ next to the playgrounds and further away is like open stagr for performance. Kids equipment looks awesome after replacing much dated

BBQ's & PLENTY OF MODERN PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR THE KIDS, GREAT SHELTERED AREAS & VARIOUS ‍♂️‍♀️‍♀️‍TRACKS, DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH.‍‍‍ …

Great place to take the fam. Some nice short walks for when time's tight. Nice little play adventure for the kids. Modern public toilet. Great bonus with the lake and the stream that feeds it.

Always clean and well maintained park. Great variety of things to do and challanging playgrounds for the kids. Toilet facilitates need a little attention as they are generally unusable

Great place for an afternoon stroll with the kids, plenty of activity to keep them busy for a couple of hours. You can also walk along the lake bank just admiring the surroundings.

This is one of our favorite playgrounds in the area. It has enough options of slides and swings for all ages. There is also a barbecue facility with a nice view over the lake.

Nice park to take a quick walk w your or kids. Lake edges seem unsafe for kids to play alone. Only one bbq. Need to set up a play area / park for kids within the park. …

It is very nice park with great walking tracks along the bridge and around the lake, many picnics area for the family and playground for kids, areas for community gathering.

Great area, amazing for kids. Great place for dog walks and family reunions. Although, make sure if you need to use the barbecue, bring wipes because they are always dirty.

Recently upgraded playground and they have a new play area thats been specially designed for children with disabilities and equipment that wheelchair bound users can play.

Playground at this place is fantastic. Lots of areas and platforms for the kids to explore at their own pace, whilst parents can keep an eye on proceedings from all sides.

Great park with giant slides that seem to go forever! There is so much green, open space for a picnic and enjoying time outdoors with those closest to us. A great place

Lots of green open space for kids to run around. Playground has lots of accessible equipment, slides and sandpit. Shared walk and cycling track is well maintained.

Very beautiful park, scenic. Ample play area for kids. Barbecue under shade is there. Good for birthday parties. Good toilet facility. Parking can be a problem.

Great place it have jogging track, children playground, and even picnic area where you can cook your food. I enjoyed my time here with relatives and their kids

Great friendly place would do with fixing disabled toilet kinda sad pretty much all the toilets don't lock at all water with a heavy Algy floating on top

Great playground for kids 5+, not so much for any younger without adult help. All there is, is different slides and intensity, some climbing equipment.

Beautiful park! You can enjoy a bit of nature, learn about the history of mining, have fun in the playground or watch the ducks swimming in the lake.

Awesome new playground. Lots of places to sit and watch the kids. The lake is lovely. Lots of parking, good tracks and well maintained toilets.

Pleasant park with a variety of spaces, from the bustling playground to quiet benches around the lake. There's even an outdoors mining museum.

It’s a nice place for kids or family to have picnic and family activities. I like taking a walk there too. It could be very busy at weekends.

A great place for picnic and children, shaded areas are epic to have a rest and enjoy a read or so. Could be good for a bike ride too

The toilet doors are really heavy to open, doesn't matter what age you are. The place is great and clean mostly. I enjoy going there.

Fully kitted out lake park, with toilet facilities, shade area, gazebos and a mammoth playground. My child self is green with envy.

Great place for a picnic. BBQ facilities, toilets. Can bike/walk around the lake. Playground for kids. Parking is an issue though.

Great place for a free clean BBQ. Watch (don't feed) the ducks with the kids. Very well maintained and some lovely short walks.

Great play area for kids and toddlers. Variety of activities, and space to run around. Can get busy as it is a popular space.

Solid park, clean and good amenities. Wish it had a bit more open area for sports but otherwise was nice for a bbq …

Great place to take the kids, see the lake and the birds. Toilets and BBQ area available. Jazz in the park some Sundays

Wonderful spot with the new playground. Great for kids! Great facilities including those for kids with special needs.

One of the best parks in Ringwood. Swings, slides , BBQ and great setting. Good amenities block. Can get crowned.

Amazing playground equipment, great walk around the lake. Visit was let down a little by the limited parking.
