Steps Trail is now open
The new challenge path between the Ruffey Lake Circuit and Hill Tops Circuit, in the eastern end of the park, called the Steps Trail is now open to test you. There are 115 rock steps, several resting and lookout landings with great views. Come and check it out.
Loved by locals and visitors and flaunted as the park that ‘has it all’, Ruffey Lake Park is popular for social gatherings and family reunions.
We have three kid-friendly picnic areas which have all the facilities you'll need. Our picnic shelters and barbecues are popular - so it's a 'first come, first serve' basis, with sharing encouraged.

Dogs are welcome at Ruffey Lake Park and there are off lead and on lead areas for you and your furry friend.

Have you noticed something unsafe like a broken tree branch or damaged playground that needs our attention?
Some types of events, such as festivals or school's cross country runs need a special permission to be held on public land.
No matter the weather these winter school holidays, we have some great activities to keep the kids warm, busy and active.
Running your business from home can be a perfect way to balance work and family commitments. Or you might be just starting out and wanting to minimise your overheads.
Manningham is home to a large number of home based businesses and we actively support and encourage this business community.
A home based business is run from a residential premises or building in which the owner of the business lives.
It is important to distinguish between people who may be working from home, and those who are running a business from home. A home based business operator runs a business from home, and doesn’t work from home for an external organisation.
Council has certain requirements for home based businesses. These requirements help to ensure that your business won’t have a negative impact on your neighbours or the neighbourhood.
The most appropriate businesses or occupations to be conducted from the home are those where:
In all residential zones, home based businesses are permitted to have signage which displays business identification information. A total of 0.2 square metres of advertising is permitted without a planning permit.
The information which is acceptable on this sign includes:
For any sign not meeting these requirements, you must apply to the Statutory Planning team on 9840 9333.
Read Clause 52.05 in the Manningham Planning Scheme for the full details about signage requirements.
The Manningham Planning Scheme provides more information about home based businesses.

Browning Reserve is a large (6,029m²), well located reserve for residents south of Serpells Road and the families of Serpell and St. Charles Borromeo Primary Schools.
It provides a pedestrian link through to Glen Orchard Close and there is a bus stop outside the Reserve on Browning Drive. Upgraded in 2008, the reserve is well maintained with attractive landscaping, good visibility and a playspace. There are three other playspaces within a 400 metre radius.
Paths are in reasonable condition and are a mixture of asphalt and granitic sand. Additional low landscaping to the Glen Orchard Close pedestrian link would also improve its appearance, but in general this is a pleasant and functional reserve and a low priority for upgrade.
Children will love exploring and playing at Browning Reserve. The 'bird hide' cubby has a slide and cargo net and views over the swings, rocker and see-saw. There is plenty of seating shaded from the large Eucalypt trees.
Suitable age group: 1 to 6 years
