Emerald Lake Wading Pool

What a beautiful place. Nature is at his best. Great place to go with a family picnic. Only concern about the restroom which is not cleaned and hygienic.

What a unique place! Shade to sit and watch the kids, deep enough for adults to enjoy with water height up to 0.9m. Fenced in, picnic tables outside of gated pool area and toilets ( a little walk away), a playground and lots and lots of other things to see and do. Parking is $6 all day and less then 200 metres from wading pool. Entry is free.
We stayed for 6hrs, lots of people came and left. Bring a picnic and make a day of it.

A good place for water fun. Use insect repellent if you wanna walk around.

Lovely place for picnic and aqua biking.

Getting there:
The obvious and easy option is to drive here, but the more interesting option is the Puffing Billy train. If you are taking the train it is advisable to get there early and take the return train later.

What to do and services:
This pristine park is a great place for picnic. There is a restaurant near the Puffing Billy station. On days when they are open you can do Aqua Biking for a very reasonable cost. Taking a walk around the lake is a great experience too.

Parents with kids:
There are play areas, trails not far away from the water body. Given the restaurant services are usually available on weekends and holidays you better have food and water handy. Under shade picnic areas need prior booking sometimes, so if the mercury is high make sure you are prepared.

Great for family picnic

Beautiful lake for family . Fishing and bbq

Beautiful sunshine during our autumn visit. 🍂 enjoyed watching hubby and toddler have a good time in the water!

Highly recommended. I have been there many time and I have enjoyed every single time being there. The park is not open 24 hours though, please check latest information on opening hours before going. It’s a big enough park to spend a whole day with family and kids.

Emerald Lake Park is a beautiful spot.
Under normal condittions there is plenty of parking, or you can ride Puffing Billy to the Park. There are lots of walking paths, a big lake and other small lakes and creeks, and boating on the lake. There is a cafe, and plenty of BBQ and toilet Facilities.
A new Visitors Centre is currently being built.

Nice area. Have paddleboats

Lots of fun with friends!

The paddle boating is good for kids, although the do not have paddles that are compatible for kids. I’d you have kids, they will just have to sit in and enjoy unless they are grow up to reach the paddles.

Peaceful place to walk around. Nice !

Very good picnic spot. Public electric grill available. Good park and lake view. Usually good to visit in summer. Few birds are there, kids will enjoy a lot. Kids pay area is also there. Good place for photo shoot. Cafeteria, Car parking space and toilets facility is available.
Fishing allowed, pack your fishing kit, you can catch and grill on the spot. :)

Whether you want to enjoy fresh air in the woods, Go for trekking or sit around a lake, This place is a must visit in Emerald Victoria. Going into nature will allow you to change your thoughts from Negative to Positive.

Must visit family picnic spot. The paddle boat experience was good but a bit costly at $15 for 15 minutes.

excellent for families. kids will surely enjoy, along with the adults. staff are very friendly. and price for the paddle boat hire is reasonable. 15 aud for 15mins 2people.

Beautiful and serene place best to reach by puffing billy heritage train from belgrave to lakeside.

The place is good with Bike Pedalling ,a quiet water sides with still waters were the birds and ducks have a quiet respite from their flying.
