Newell's Paddock Urban Nature Park

Awesome relaxing place with a lot of natural features such as birds. Have a shaded area with bbq facilities. Very close to Footscray town.

Wonderful wetland renewal tucked away close to the city. Over the years many species of birds have begun to thrive and can be seen from the walking tracks. On site BBQ and recreational facilities.

Great for morning exercise. Lots of exotic plants and animals.

This must be the definition of a hidden gem, massive green and safe area for kids to run around and very rarely anyone there

A nice spot for a catchup. Even though it was a sunny Friday afternoon in the middle of lockdown, it was very quiet. There are a few seats scattered around. The grass was lush and green. Parking was no trouble but might be an issue if it's busy. The traffic noise is in the background but not annoying.

Newell's is an excellect park. Hard to believe its in metro melbourne once youre down at the water line.

Nice walking track with good bird viewing - the cygnets at the moment are adorable when you catch a glimpse. Multiple sports fields for recreation. Just a really nice area that makes you feel as though you aren't in an inner city suburb.

Lovely place to catch up with friends. Impressive trees and water birds just string the corner.

Quite a surprise to see what it is morphing into, still a work in progress but very impressive. Conservation / wetland part is no entry and enormous. Traditional parkland part is substantial and has some good infrastructure. Really enjoyed the walking pathway which let's you loop back to where you started via the Maribrynong River Trail and take in the full wetland views. The nearby river is a scenic bonus.

I play ball and do yoga there. Its fun especially when I play Ziggy cuz I drive the line then hit the lay up and pop goes the weezle. Then I'll pop on out for a 3 pointer all casual like. And Ziggy's all like I'll get you for this and shakes his fist at me. But it's too late ive already won the game.

Great park to stroll around through to wetlands to Footscray park
Disgusting thing is though as we are in lockdown and considering it's a warm 26 degrees day so many people around being feral laying around with no masks, people having picnics, mothers club meetings and so on

Nice wetland to watch the birds

Good place, quiet and clean, perfect spot for some getaway time. Check it out!

Football field and a small basketball place as well. Public BBQ place. We come here because the park is nice and quiet.

It's like Bush in the middle of suburbia! So good

Great urban area with a rural wetlands vibe

Freedom through sensational peace of mind in the park

Amazing spot in suburbs

Adults beat the kids at football 😁
