Birkenhead War Memorial Park

The Birkenhead War Memorial Park has several entrances to native bush walks. The tracks are predominately firm underfoot and includes some boardwalks and bridges.

The most popular entrances are linked together by open green space within the park. You can enter at the end of Mahara Ave (the park’s main entrance), beside the Birkenhead Heritage Society Museum for a short walk to the lower playing fields.

On the far side of the playing field, you can enter the bush which will take you through to Park Hill Road, or you can head towards Recreation Drive and as you come out of the gully on the gravel road, there is another entrance which also takes you through to Park Hill Road.

The Birkenhead Pump Track is a marvellous facility for bike riders and skateboarders.
