Rosanna Parklands is one of Banyule and Rosanna’s most loved and visited parks . It has strong natural character, rich history and is an important part of Banyule’s park network.

The 25-hectare reserve has open spaces, bushland and areas for fun. Community go there to walk, jog, ride bikes, walk their dogs and have picnics. Banyule’s Bushland Team looks after the park with help from local volunteers.

Salt Creek runs through the middle of the park. There are two playgrounds: a bigger one in the centre and a smaller one in the north. A gravel path about 2.7 km long goes around the park, and there are lots of smaller tracks too. There is even a dirt jump area for bikes. Community groups help care for the park’s natural spaces.

To manage and protect the Parkland's special character, we’re making a management plan. This plan will guide future decisions about the park and is an action in the Banyule Public Open Space Plan (2016–2031). We’ll use your feedback from Stage 1 to create key principles for Council decisions. These principles will make sure decisions are:

• Consistent – following the same vision and values.
• Clear – explain how and why choices are made.
• Community-focused – based on what locals value most.
• Sustainable – good for the environment and long-term use.
• Strategic – planning actions and spending wisely.
• Best Practice – using the latest ideas in park management.

We’ll share these principles during Stage 2 engagement in 2026 and consult on a new public toilet.

Tell us how you use Rosanna Parklands, what you love about it and any ideas to help deliver a better management plan. Share your thoughts until 21 December 2025.
