Park life
For the young and young at heart, Aurora’s parks are full of fun and imagination. Treetops Park is a favourite for kids of all ages, with a challenging central climbing frame, swings, slides and mini trampolines. A large climbing frame includes rock climbing walls, slide and swings and there’s shelter and seating, BBQ and USB charging so you can make a day of it. There’s also shade from trees and shelters, seating, BBQ and solar trees for USB charging and WIFI. Adventure Park’s design was inspired by the stunning Aurora Australis and it’s conveniently situated across from the Sprout Hub Café. And this is just the start.

Connected with nature
Aurora is also conserving one of Victoria’s rarest native vegetations, Temperate Grassland, which has been long preserved by the Wurundjeri and Woiwurung peoples, the traditional custodians of the land. This natural wonder is yours to enjoy from Aurora’s trails and bike paths, with 14 conservation areas encompassing 25 hectares of native grasslands, rich with wildflowers and indigenous flora. Their colours mark the changing seasons, from lush green in spring and summer to red and brown through the cooler months, connecting you with the natural cycle of the earth.
