Greenvale Reservoir Park in Melbourne has reopened with major upgrades after a $3 million transformation into open green space for families.
Melbourne Water and Parks Victoria have completed work on the southern section of Greenvale Reservoir Park, with 37 hectares of green space now accessible around the reservoir. The revitalised park connects the northern and southern sections to create a single open space for the community to enjoy and connect to nature.
Upgrades include improved walking trails and entry points, new toilets, resurfaced roads and carparks, upgraded road signs and safety barriers, and a range of amenities for families to use. A new playground will also be delivered, with further updates to come in the new year.

Work on the northern section of the park was completed earlier under the Victorian government’s $21 million Urban Parks Active Wellbeing Program, which delivered upgrades across 21 urban parks to encourage outdoor activity and connection with nature.
As a protected water catchment, Greenvale Reservoir plays a key role in supplying drinking water to Melbourne’s north-western and western suburbs. Melbourne Water has undertaken a range of critical dam wall upgrades to secure additional drinking water supply for communities across Greenvale and the northern suburbs.
Parks Victoria welcomes visitors, including dogs on lead, back to the southern section of Greenvale Reservoir. With Melbourne’s northern suburbs experiencing rapid urban growth, the upgrades ensure families and communities can enjoy nature close to home.
This project complements the Victorian government’s $315 million Suburban Parks Program, which is creating 6,500 hectares of new parkland, trails and dog parks across Melbourne, including a new all-abilities playscape and upgraded walking track at Wattle Park and a new Plenty River Trail.
