Emerald Lake Wading Pool

I live right around the corner for here and every time it is always filled with duck poo. When it is clean though it is nice.

Emeald Lake Park. Recreational park, bush walking tracks, paddle boats, wading pool, model train display, Puffing Billy train and Experience Centre.

Lovely place for picnic and aqua biking.

Getting there:
The obvious and easy option is to drive here, but the more interesting option is the Puffing Billy train. If you are taking the train it is advisable to get there early and take the return train later.

What to do and services:
This pristine park is a great place for picnic. There is a restaurant near the Puffing Billy station. On days when they are open you can do Aqua Biking for a very reasonable cost. Taking a walk around the lake is a great experience too.

Parents with kids:
There are play areas, trails not far away from the water body. Given the restaurant services are usually available on weekends and holidays you better have food and water handy. Under shade picnic areas need prior booking sometimes, so if the mercury is high make sure you are prepared.

This place is so beautiful! Easy parking, good facilities and great for a picnic or just walking around. We have been back a few times and it is always nice.

Great place for a walk around or picnic. Wading pool closed over the cooler months. Only open during Summer.

Whether you want to enjoy fresh air in the woods, Go for trekking or sit around a lake, This place is a must visit in Emerald Victoria. Going into nature will allow you to change your thoughts from Negative to Positive.

Was a lovely park. We went there to go on the Paddleboats but they weren't even open.bit disappointed. Saw ducks, kookaburras and other birds. Pool was good. Only gave 3 stars because we went there for the purpose to go and the Paddle boats (closed)

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful spot for morning tea. As usual. We were just in front of the green swimming pool.

Scenic place perfect to spend couple of hours. Paddle boats available to hire. Kids would love it. Also, bring your own food as there is not much food options out there.

This is a lovely park with lots of activities to do. Perfect place for a family day out. The kids love the paddle boats but it's quite strenuous. The other draw back is that the boat can only take two people at a time and kids need to go on the boat with an adult. Single parent with more than one kid may not be able to play.

The park is very beautiful. I loved the lake and the birds. There are many amenities, including barbecues and toilets. Suitable for children as well.

Nice lake with paddle boats and pool. Great picnic area and accessible but paid parking. Loved the birds. Great for people with kids and pets.

Well maintained and new walking tracks around the park. Park is lovely but staff at the steam train station rude and use a intercom system to tell you off to embarrass you.

Emerald Lake Park is a beautiful spot.
Under normal condittions there is plenty of parking, or you can ride Puffing Billy to the Park. There are lots of walking paths, a big lake and other small lakes and creeks, and boating on the lake. There is a cafe, and plenty of BBQ and toilet Facilities.
A new Visitors Centre is currently being built.

Great destination for a day trip from Melbourne or via Puffing Billy from Belgrave, where it's the last station on the line. Especially in summer when the pool is popular for swimming and Autumn when the display of Autumn leaves is stunning. Lots of shady trees and green lawn areas to picnic on, Tables and benches, BBQs if you want, playground for kids and up near the Puffing Billy station a model train museum and walks through the landscape if you feel like it. It can be extremely busy on weekends and difficult to find parking, which you have to pay for. Several toilets around the park as well as a kiosk down near the water and paddle boat rental.
