The riverside is closer to its natural state at Brimbank Park than at any other point between here and Footscray, so access to the riverbank is only possible at a few points, such as the two fords above.

Mostly the riverside walking / cycling path is separated from the river by a narrow strip of bush.

The park features many picnic areas with tables and barbecues, very popular on weekends with large family groups.  If you're looking for peace and quiet, weekdays are the best time to go.
