Area 1

Area 1 opening hours are as follows:

  • During daylight savings (extended hours will apply): 0600 – 2100
  • During non daylight savings: 0600 – 1800

Any vehicles left in Area 1 will be locked inside Stromlo Forest Park unit it is opened the following morning.

Area 2 will be open to the public; however, members of the public may only access these areas using only the available entrances (pedestrian access, cycling and equestrian access points).

A contracted security company will be opening and closing the facility. It is the responsibility of users to Stromlo Forest Park that they remove their vehicles from Area 1 before the closing time. Any vehicles left inside Area 1 will be locked inside Stromlo Forest Park until 6:00am when it is opened again.
