Altona Coastal Park

This park has a large open space consisting of coastal saltmarsh communities as well as important mangrove habitat and mudflats that sustain resident and migratory shorebirds. There is also a large fenced area featuring some walking tracks through open woodlands and grasslands. The park is being rehabilitated primarily through weed control and revegetation. This reserve is strictly dog on lead and includes an area where dogs are not authorised, which is clearly signed. There are no facilities at this reserve. Access into the reserve is via Altona/Racecourse Road with parking either at the ford carpark or adjacent to the Pines Scout camp.

If you're visiting with the kids, you can try our twitch hunt in next door's P.A. Burns reserve. There are 20 birds for you to find around the park - see the flyer with map attached on this page.
