Discover the sculptures dotted around the trails in the bush. Landscapers, sculptors and artists have helped create a natural play space for kids to explore at Currawong Bush Park. Can you spot the kangaroo? Play in the woven cubby, curl up in the giant nest or count the ants the echidna is about to eat.
See if you can spot the native birds, lizards and frogs on your adventure, or maybe you will be lucky enough to catch sight of a wombat, or koala.
Stay for a bite to eat and enjoy a picnic in the bush, or cook up a feast using the onsite barbecue.
Places and spaces
There are many tracks around the park to explore on foot. Our self-guided walks will familiarise you with different areas such as the scar tree and the billabong:

Mullum Mullum Trail is popular with nature loving cyclists and walkers. The trail runs on the other side of the Mullum Mullum Creek and is connected to Currawong Bush Park with a pedestrian bridge just north of Reynolds Road.
Conference Centre available for hire for your next functions, meetings or seminars
Getting there and car parking
You can park your car at one of the two carparks from the Reynolds Road entrance.
The first carpark is at the top of the driveway and is closest to the conference centre.
The second carpark is closer to the park, you will find the carpark further along the road.
Walk to the park and enjoy the surroundings. Cross the pedestrian bridge near the Mullum Mullum Trail north of Reynolds Road. This track forms part of a 4.5 kilometer circuit walk through the park or for a shortcut, take the driveway to the central area.
Take the bike and use the pedestrian bridge from the Mullum Mullum Trail and the vehicle track from Arnold Drive. To protect the park and animals that live here, you can only use bikes on vehicle tracks.

All Manningham reserves are closed on days of total fire ban, or higher extreme or catastrophic Fire Danger Rating. Visiting a reserve on these days places you at risk and potentially in danger.
To check the current Fire Danger Rating or find out if it’s a total fire ban day, go to the CFA website.
Report an issue
Please let us know if you notice anything unsafe, like a broken tree branch or damaged playground.
What we do to reduce fire risk at Currawong Bush Park
Finer fuels such as leaf litter, tree branches and twigs raise the level of risk within reserves. Large fallen trees require a much higher level of heat to burn and provide habitats for native wildlife.
Here are some actions we take throughout the year to reduce the fire risk at this reserve:
create and maintain fuel breaks within the reserve
maintain grass heights with slashing, brush cutting and tractors year round
remove fine fuels such as loose and fallen branches
annual inspection and maintenance of Fire Access Tracks, to ensure emergency service vehicles can access the reserve
inspect access points, gates and locks
We manage 20 per cent of the land in Manningham, but the other 66 per cent is privately owned. Visit the CFA website for information on how to prepare your private property for fire.

… Media release: Manningham Council partners with Jackson Court traders to support local business With support from Manningham Council, the new Jackson Court Traders Association …
Article Content
With support from Manningham Council, the new Jackson Court Traders Association has seen the launch of its first initiative – a welcoming new sign at Jackson Court Shopping Centre.
Formed just over a year ago, the Jackson Court Traders Association advocates for its businesses, collaborates with Council, pursues funding opportunities and creates initiatives to promote the popular activity centre.
Jackson Court has more than 90 businesses, making it one of Manningham’s busiest and most vibrant centres.
The new sign on Doncaster Road is designed to showcase the mix of local businesses and advertise the centre.
Manningham Council supports activity centres with infrastructure upgrades, business support and planning. At Jackson Court, Council helped establish the traders’ association with registration, governance, communication and business development support.
President of the Jackson Court Traders Association, Con Valsamis said the sign brings a new look and increased advertising space for businesses at the centre.
"As a group, we have so many ideas on ways to continue improving this important shopping district. This new signage is a big step towards us achieving these goals,” Mr Valsamis said.
“A big thank you to my fellow committee members for their passion and dedication and to Manningham Council for their support in setting up our traders association.”
“We want to bring this area to life and really show people what we at Jackson Court have to offer,” Mr Valsamis added.
