11.4 km

Willsmere Park sits beside the Yarra River on the edge of Yarra Bend Park, with open grassland, billabongs, remnant bushland, and shared riverside trails running through the reserve. The park forms an important wildlife corridor along the Middle Yarra and contains two of the last remaining billabongs in the lower reaches of the river floodplain. It’s also a popular off-leash area, especially around the open lawns and riverside paths linking into the wider Yarra trail network.

Walmer Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Connecting Richmond and Hawthorn, Walmer Bridge (Walmer Street Bridge) is a key crossing along the Yarra River used by walkers and cyclists. The metal truss structure carries a shared path over the river, linking sections of the Main Yarra Trail on both sides. From the bridge, you get clear views up and down the river corridor, with a steady flow of foot and bike traffic throughout the day.
