Stretching for over 30 kilometres, the Main Yarra Trail follows the Yarra River from the city through Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, linking with tracks like the Capital City Trail and Gardiners Creek Trail. This section at O'Connell Reserve runs alongside the river through open parkland, with a wide shared path used by walkers and cyclists. The reserve itself provides direct river access, including mooring at Richmond Landing. Dogs may be off-leash before 9am and after 5pm, so awareness is needed along the track during these times.
