It's a 1.4 km linear park with an area of 17.5 hectares, named after the many bell birds, with some areas of remnant bush, walking trails, wetlands and ornamental lakes.
The park has two children's play grounds, many walking trails/tracks and boardwalks over the wetlands sectors. Open grassed areas with picnic tables provide places for quiet enjoyment.
Many varieties of birds and frogs can be seen and heard here and, in spring, there are wild flowers. Victoria's floral emblem the Pink Heath (Epacris impressa) can be seen growing 'wild' within the remnant areas.
For walkers the Dell offers short or long strolls but dogs must be on a leash. Main pathways are shared with cyclists.
Please refer to the Website of the Bellbird Park Advisory Committee, http://home.vicnet.net.au/~bellbird/WELCOME.HTM for comprehensive information about the history and features of the Park.
I explored this Parkland on February 16 2013, on a 3 km hike which started at the junction of Terrara Rd and George St.
