There’s no better time to jump on your bike and check out some of Frankston City’s most popular open spaces. One of our favourites is Witternberg Reserve, next to Robinsons Park, Frankston. With its upgraded play space, new barbeque and picnic shelter, the park just got even better with the completion of a raised boardwalk and shared user path (SUP) connecting the park to the popular Peninsula Link trail, which extends from Patterson Lakes and connects the EastLink and Baxter Trails and ends at Moorooduc. The route takes in wetlands, parklands, and natural bushlands.

The project was fully funded by Council and is one of several shared user paths completed this year as one of our Integrated Transport Strategy priorities. Some of our other new shared user path connections you might like to test out include:

  • Seaford Road:  providing a safe and continuous link along Seaford Road, from Elsie Avenue to the Nepean Highway, the project also included a new pedestrian refuge, providing a safe crossing point and easier pedestrian access to the nearby Kananook Creek walking trail and RF Miles Reserve and play space.
  • Dandenong Road East: connecting existing paths at Cricklewood Avenue and Fletcher Road to provide a safe continuous link to Frankston Station. This is also an important link in a much longer cycling network connecting Melbourne to the Mornington Peninsula via Frankston. 
  • Seaford Wetlands: new pedestrian and cycling bridge over Kananook Creek and realigned SUP connecting to the new accessible viewing platform at Austin Road.

More SUP upgrades are planned as part of our new Bike Riding Strategy https://www.frankston.vic.gov.au/Council/Frankston-priorities-and-strategies/Policies-Plans-and-Strategies#section-5
