The Glen Waverley Historical Walk is accessible by train or bus to the station; reserves and trails add clearly named facilities and routes to the options.

Trails through Shepherds Bush and to Mount Waverley

The Dandenong Creek Trail passes through the Shepherds Bush Nature Reserve. If you want to take a trail’s route through a nature reserve into account when choosing, this is a clearly named point of reference. The first three-kilometre section of the Waverley Rail Trail starts at the corner of Coleman Parade and Carramar Avenue in Glen Waverley. From there, the off-road shared path runs to Alvie Road in Mount Waverley, west of Mount Waverley Station. The two trail descriptions highlight different aspects: the Dandenong Creek Trail is noted for passing through Shepherds Bush, while the length, start and endpoint of the first section of the Waverley Rail Trail are specified. This lets you choose whether the nature reserve or this section of trail is more relevant to your plans.

Playgrounds with specific features

Glen Waverley North Reserve has a shaded playground with swings, a double flying fox, wooden adventure play equipment, balance logs, hopscotch and table chess. The mix offers different types of movement and play, from climbing and balancing to games at a table. Central Reserve also has a playground, with swings, a slide, a maze and other climbing and play equipment. The descriptions therefore identify different specific features, such as the double flying fox at North Reserve and the maze at Central Reserve. If play opportunities factor into your travel plans, you can compare these facilities with your own interests.
