Newport Lakes Arboretum
Highlight β’ Natural
The Arboretum at Newport Lakes Park is a quiet, landscaped section of the reserve that includes a diverse collection of exotic and native trees. It was one of the first areas to be rehabilitated from the former quarry in the 1970s, and it includes winding paths, open grassy areas, labelled trees, and benches, making it a peaceful place to stroll or relax. The arboretum adds a more garden-like atmosphere to Newport Lakes, with mature conifers, deciduous trees, and unusual species from across Australia and overseas.

Newport Lakes Park
Highlight β’ Lake
Newport Lakes Park is a peaceful 33-hectare bushland reserve in Melbourneβs inner west, created from a former bluestone quarry and landfill site and transformed into a network of lakes, walking trails, and natural green space. The park includes a self-guided nature trail with several lookouts, stepping-stone lake crossings, and wetland areas rich in birdlife. With more than 200 plant species and over 85 recorded bird species, it's a surprisingly secluded place to escape in nature, right in the heart of this suburban area.
