Nortons Park

The land was once an orchard, and still contains a number of remnant fruit trees that burst into bloom in springtime. It is a great place to picnic with friends or, for the more energetic, work out on the cross-country running track. Things to see and do * Nortons Park is a good vantage point to get great views of the local area * Enjoy a barbecue lunch, a picnic or a game of football or cricket with friends and family on the large, open lawns * Take a stroll through the park down to the Dandenong Creek or walk all the way to Jells Park along the Linear Trail * The Dandenong Creek in Shepherds Bush adjoining Nortons Park is a special place to watch birds, including the sacred kingfisher, rest and feed * A trail begins from the south-west corner of the park and extends down past a number of market gardens into bushland, down to the Dandenong Creek and then north to High Street Road. If you head south you can join up with the Linear Trail that will take you all the way along the Dandenong Creek to Jells Park Looking after the park * We have a 'carry in, carry out' policy, so please take your rubbish with you * Camping is not permitted within the park * No fires, including barbecues, may be lit on a day of total fire ban * Dogs are permitted in the park, but must be kept on a leash at all times.
