Bundoora Park's 180 Hectares Offer Trails, Wildlife, Mount Cooper Views

Bundoora Park covers 180 hectares of natural bushland at 1069 Plenty Road and includes walking tracks, picnic areas and playgrounds for local visitors.

The park sits next to Darebin Parklands, which adds further bushland trails, while the site also contains a golf course and free BBQ facilities. These features provide accessible outdoor space without travel costs.

Mount Cooper lookout and farm visits

Mount Cooper rises to 137 meters above sea level as the highest natural point in metropolitan Melbourne and delivers city skyline views after a walk inside the park. Bundoora Park Farm supplies a free hands-on session with sheep, goats, cows, alpacas and native wildlife right on the grounds.

Cooper’s Settlement inside the park combines an Urban Farm, Heritage Village and Wildlife Reserve and stays open daily from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Darebin Parklands trails connect directly for extended walks through adjacent bushland.

Free access and daily options

Bundoora Park functions as a large public open space with wide grasslands and picnic areas that require no entry fee. Mount Cooper Lookout remains a free scenic viewpoint described as the highest point in the metropolitan area.

Visitors can reach the park via Plenty Road and combine a Mount Cooper walk with time at the farm or settlement. The golf course and BBQ facilities add further no-cost amenities within the same location.

Those planning a visit should check opening hours at Cooper’s Settlement and prepare for self-guided walks on the marked tracks. The combination of trails, animals and viewpoints supports repeated use throughout the week.
