Map signs are placed regularly on the path. The accessible walk as mapped by Victoria Walks has paths that are sealed, smooth, firm and flat. There is space to turn a wheelchair and for side-by-side travel. No steps are encountered. Path edges meet grassy lawns.

There is a wide boardwalk footbridge with safety railing that has a mild slope. Other bridges may not be accessible and are not included in this map.

There are options to walk different, shorter routes with many alternative points along the walk that allow vehicle access. Mobile phone coverage is good.

This is a popular and sometimes very busy parkland with many attractions. Dogs must be on a leash. Cyclists may share some paths.

This walk offers many fully accessible features including play spaces (with water play and a maze), picnic shelters, tables, BBQs, accessible food preparation benches and bins. Food and drink can be purchased across Pertobe Rd.
