Studley Park Picnic Area

The appeal is a beautiful riverside setting for a day out — lovely parkland and picnic spots along the Yarra at Studley Park, a genuine favourite for a picnic, a walk, a paddle or simply relaxing by the water, a lovely escape into nature close to the city. It's a lovely, largely free experience.

Parks and riverside spots have changing facilities and seasonal conditions, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and take your time by the river.
