Facilities
A joint picnic shelter and toilet block (which was originally a football/cricket oval pavilion) existed in the park for some time but was demolished in mid 2008 due to numerous crime incidents (see crime section below). Electric barbecues were also removed at the same time. Information boards are located at the north and south pedestrian entrances to the park. A drinking fountain is also located at the junction of the Dandenong Creek and EastLink trails. The adjoining Wantirna Reserve, managed by Knox City Council and located at the southern end of the park features a sporting oval with an adjacent clubhouse and cricket nets which caters for Australian rules football and cricket, while the Wantirna Tennis Club clubhouse resides in the middle of ten private clay tennis courts. A scout hall and playground are also situated within the reserve. All facilities are accessed by dirt access roads with associated parking areas provided. The Victorian Jazz Archive is also located on the left side of the southern entrance to the park.
