DESCRIPTION


The Ferndale Park Trail is a shared use path for Cyclists and Pedestrians in the suburb of Glen Iris , an inner eastern suburb of Melbourne , Victoria . VicRoads - Bicycle Facilities Map Melbourne and Geelong's shared paths in Google Maps Melbourne and Geelong's shared paths in Google Earth

It's useful as it provides a shortcut between Gardiners Creek Trail and Anniversary Outer Circle Trail . These two paths converge 2.5 km further to the south, so it can cut 2.6km off a circuit utilising the Gardiners Creek Trail and the Anniversary Outer Circle Trail .


FOLLOWING THE PATH

The path meets Gardiners Creek Trail at Nettleton Park Reserve near a footbridge over the creek. Following the path is straight forward except at the west side of Glen Iris Rd where it splits in two. Take the south path, cross Glen Iris Rd and continue on the south side of Ferndale Park by the oval and toilet block. Continuing to the east, the trail meets the Alamein Railway Line 0.4km north of Ashburton Station . The Anniversary Outer Circle Trail runs north south, parallel to the railway line.
