Hike summary

Randell Park Reserve is a small reserve which offers a 3.6km loop hike. The park consists of open areas, pine and eucalyptus forests, and numerous small former quarries.

In March 2016 the City of Mitcham announced it had selected the final design to upgrade the walking and mountain bike paths in the park. From April 2016 the park has been closed to mountain bikers, whilst the trails are upgraded, environmental work conducted and trail signage erected. The park remains open to walkers. View the proposed trails on the map on page 19 of the proposal. Find project updates on the City of Mitcham project page.

Due to the impending trail upgrades, we haven't provided detailed walk route instructions. Use the Google map above to navigate. Prior to redevelopment the park had numerous trails meandering around, but it is still reasonably easy to follow the route in the Google Map above. You can use the map on your smartphone, including seeing your current location, by loading this page whilst on your hike.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
