Located in Yarraville, Cruickshank Park offers a dog-friendly natural oasis.
Stony Creek runs through the center surrounded by a natural park planted with many indigenous trees and plants as part of an ongoing recovery from the park's days as a bluestone quarry.
This planting day is being organised in conjunction with Friends of Cruickshank Park and the City of Maribyrnong, and is facilitated by the Park Ranger.
Community planting events enhance our parks and reserves, creating a greener city and providing habitat for native wildlife.
During the event a variety of native plants, shrubs and trees will be planted. Volunteers may also assist with weeding, watering, mulching and litter collection.
