Umbagong District Park

Umbagong is a great local park with lots of interesting places to explore and have fun. There are several kids playgrounds and picnic areas including barbecues.

Formerly great and will be again - keep up the pressure - a great park in need of capital repair. Great sweeping walking paths that take you on a wide and varied trip around the creek on either side. Two good playgrounds in the mix. Great design for an urban park. Bring back the bridges!!!

lovely district park. I have loved walking around this nature walk. i feel this is a little gem of a spot and not a lot of canberran's know of this space. when i have walked here it can be very secluded and quiet which is lovely. the grass can be long so i recommend looking out for snakes on warmer days. awesome big playground here. one time we saw a lone kangaroo here too. there are bbqs and shelter areas for with picnic table at furthest end from kippax direction. hidden little gem. a few bridge walks over the river very scenic!! Stepping stones over the creek.

Fantastic for a long 8km off-leash dog walk loop, paved all the way, mostly flat, many places for the dogs to swim in the creek. Also great natural bushland areas.

Biggest slide of my life, most fun ever had. Nice views of the lake and active wear. Also near the skate park if you want to do a backflip on a scooter.

Great Park for a walk, great section of the Ginninderra Creek here. You can do a circuit walk if the creek is not too high. Start at the car park off Florey Drv, go down to the river and go to the right, follow until you reach the stepping stone crossing. Go left till you get to the walk bridge, left again and follow back to the car park. Half hour easy walk

Water dragons, Cumberland skinks, snakes, fairy wrens and more!! The hot weather and lack of rain last summer seems to have got rid of the carp. Great place to walk.

Beautiful walk through the grasslands this park has a large range of birds, lizards and animals if you walk quietly enough and keep your eye open.

Great place too walk with the baby n dog! Lovely to walk along the creek n past little adventure playgrounds for kids.

a great place to take walk with your dog a friend or just buy your self. The information on each bench put there by the freinds of the park are well worth a stop and read.

This park has that more natural setting and gives you a feeling of being in the wild. It is peaceful and good for a walk or bike ride

Only saw a tiny bit of it. But a very nice place

Great park, with plenty of paths for walking. So much Birdlife for those with a keen eye/ear.

"Umbagong district park is part of the Ginninderra Creek corridor. This green corridor meanders through the suburbs from Lake Ginninderra to Parkwood where it meets with Gooromon Ponds. The waters of both streams rush down Ginninderra Gorge, cascade over Ginninderra falls and flow on into the Murrumbidgee River. Ginninderra Creek is part of the Murray Darling Basin."

"The first inhabitants of this part of Belconnen were the Ngunnawal Aboriginal people. A number of axe grinding grooves in the volcanic tuff of the creek bed are a reminder of the importance of this area to these people. The Ginninderra Creek 'chain of ponds' would have provided a reliable source of water for the Aboriginal community. It would also have attracted many animals and supported a variety of plant species."

Great park to walk around in, just be cautious of snakes. Lots of tall grass and shrubs

A beautiful, dog-friendly walk with lots of dog swimming opportunites. We'll be back.

Beautiful mid-spring day on our favourite walk via Ginninderra Creek.

Great walks, paths reasonably well maintained. Peaceful.

Great views and easy, level walk. Highly recommend

Beautiful natural space in an urban setting, a good balance between exotic and local trees.
