Westerfolds Park, Park in Victoria, Australia

Westerfolds Park is a park on the banks of the Yarra River in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, with open grasslands, woodlands, and tall River Red Gums. The land rolls gently through hills and flat riverbanks, with viewing platforms positioned above the water and small rapids.

The land was home to the Wurundjeri People long before European settlers arrived in the mid-1800s. A private family bought the property in the 1930s and built the Manor House on the hill, and the area became an official park in 1977.

The park is accessible from Fitzsimons Lane or Porter Street in Templestowe, with parking available at both entrances. Dogs must be kept on a leash throughout, and it is worth checking current conditions before visiting as some areas may be temporarily closed.

The Manor House, built by the Turner family in 1936, later housed the Mia Mia Gallery and Cafe, which showed Indigenous Australian art and ran cultural education programs until it closed in 2013. The surrounding dairy farms and orchards were subdivided for housing after World War II, but flood-prone Westerfolds was left out and joined the Yarra Valley Parklands in 1977.
