Koonung Park provides an important function in Manningham’s open space network as a sporting and recreation facility. The Reserve contains a sportsground, community tennis courts, exercise equipment, playground (2-8 years), toilets, treed open space and a hall for hire (Koonarra Hall).
Koonung Park adds to the ‘green’ buffer between the Eastern Freeway and residential area and the Red River Gums in the south-west corner are an important element. The Reserve is accessible from the adjacent Koonung Creek Linear Park, nearby bus stops, early childhood learning centre and the local street network.
