Overview of Herdsman Lake Regional Park
Herdsman Lake Regional Park is the perfect place to walk, ride and relax amid the hustle and bustle of the city. And, the lush, green landscape makes for an enjoyable visit all year round!
There are plenty of paths and trails to explore – some are hidden in pockets of paperbark forest, while others stretch all the way around the lake.
Pay a visit to the Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre on Saturdays between 9am and 2pm ($5 entry fee) to grab a coffee, see some native animal exhibits and find out what activities they’re running (nature walks, animal feeding and keeper talks, just to name a few).ย
Entry to this park is free, and dogs are allowed but must be kept on a lead.
