Why it's worth checking out

Truganina Park sits on Andrew Park Drive at Altona Meadows, on Melbourne's western bayside near the coast. A much-loved coastal park, it's a lovely natural escape — combining open green space, walking and cycling paths, wetlands and a lookout with a beautiful coastal setting and lovely views, the kind of scenic, get-out-into-nature spot that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of open space, coastal wetlands and great amenity for the outdoors: room to walk, cycle and relax, with the wetlands, the birdlife, the lookout and the bayside surrounds all adding to the appeal. It's a beloved spot for a walk, a ride, some birdwatching or simply enjoying the coastal scenery in Melbourne's west.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 390 reviews, it's clearly a well-loved spot. The park is free and open, but facilities, trail conditions and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection and water on a warm day and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a walk, a ride or some time in nature by the bay, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Truganina Park at Altona Meadows.
