Ruffey Lake Park

Ruffey Lake Park spans 68 hectares across a valley formed by Ruffey Creek, connecting the neighborhoods of Doncaster and Templestowe with native bushland and paths.

The land transformed from orchards to a public space in 1977, with Ruffey Lake created in the mid-1990s through the construction of a dam on Ruffey Creek.

The Wurundjeri people maintain their connection to this land, which extends toward Westerfolds Park in Templestowe, preserving indigenous heritage in the region.

The park contains three main entrances at Victoria Street, The Boulevard, and King Street, providing access to playgrounds, barbecues, toilets, and walking trails.

An 18-hole disc golf course integrates with the landscape, while a Ninja Warrior fitness course offers specialized exercise options for visitors.
