Walking, running and cycling

Lizard Log is a nature lover’s wonderland in a bushland setting. It has a nature-themed playground for the kids, scenic walks for all and cycling tracks of various lengths for those who like a physical challenge.

If you feel like a short stroll, the 1.6km Pimelea Loop path circles around Lizard Log. For a longer walk or cycle take the Parklands Track, which connects Lizard Log to The Dairy, Calmsley Hill City Farm, Moonrise Lookout, Sugarloaf Ridge and Prospect Reservoir.

Barbecuing stations make it a top spot for family picnics and Saluti Cafe by Novella is close by to grab a coffee. There are regular visits from our resident ice-cream van too. Mickey's Ice-Cream Van does a great range of old school soft-serves.
