Starts at 27 Goldfinch Rise, Unsworth Heights
This is an easy and picturesque walk suitable for all ages and abilities. Nice wide paths and boardwalks follow the stream and pass through extensive native bush. There are lovely grass areas, a playground, a stunning basketball and games court and fitness equipment along the way. There are several great connections to this path from the surrounding areas.
Explore this shared path by foot or on a bike. It is suitable for buggies and wheelchairs, making it a brilliant adventure for families and groups. The path is 2.5km there and back. If you plan to only walk one-way, start at the Unsworth Reserve end of the path as most of your journey is down hill.
Park your vehicle in Azure Grove. Enter Unsworth Reserve at the intersection of Azure Grove and Goldfinch Rise. The path winds its way downhill, initially past an excellent playground, grass areas and exercise equipment before entering the bush on a wide, fully-fenced boardwalk.
The next section is stunning with dense native bush, birds and stairs to little sidewalks through the bush. The river is also alive with wildlife, including eels. At the end of this section, cross the road and either follow the narrow dirt path beside the bush or go a little further to follow the cycle path to come out at Rook Reserve.
From here you can continue on through the underpass head to the connection with Alexandra Park and Rosedale Park via the Rosedale Park Path. Or head to the Twin Highways Path along the highway. Alternatively, you can turn back to where you started from here.
