Photos of February 29, 2020, along the bushland track  which runs from the playground at the main car park to Templestowe Rd. This is adjacent to the now-dry lagoon, now overgrown with weeds, thistles and vegetation.

Birrarrung Park - Lower Templestowe,

My visit on June 3, 2018, included a circuit of the large (now dry) lagoon.

Birrarrung is the Aboriginal name for Yarra River. The 33 ha Park is located at the confluence of the Plenty and Yarra Rivers, and was in important meeting place for the Wurundjeri people. 

It's a significant recreation space within the parks along the Yarra River, incorporating two large ephemeral wetlands.

Several wood barbecues (wood is provided), picnic tables and shelters are available in the park. Fires are permitted only in the barbecues provided, and you are welcome to bring your own small gas barbecue. The toilet block at Birrarrung Park is wheelchair accessible. An adventure playground is available for children. There are 2.8 km of flat sealed trails are suitable for skating, cycling and walking.
