Accessibility Information
Picnic Facilities
The path from the car park to the picnic area is sealed and is approximately 65 metres long and descending. Some sections may require assistance as the gradient ranges from 1:8 to 1:10.
Sealed path from the carpark to the picnic area
The picnic area has two picnic shelters.
The one closest to the boathouse has four picnic tables on a level concrete slab.

One of these tables has a roll under end feature. A shelter support pole inhibits access to one end of the table with the roll under end feature.

Two of the picnic tables around the shelter have overhangs big enough to fit most wheelchairs and are on a level concrete slab.

The electric barbecues adjacent to the closest shelter are on a level semi-smooth surface and are easy to access from the picnic shelter.

The second picnic shelter near the information shelter is less accessible compared to the other. It has picnic tables on a level solid surface but neither of the tables have a roll under end feature. Access to this shelter is over a sloped lawn area or via an uneven compacted dirt path.
Picnic area near the information shelter
The park Information shelter is accessible for most strollers and wheelchairs.
There is a wide, sealed path in the picnic area that is reasonably level in most sections with some gentle slopes in some sections.
The wide, sealed path is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers
Studley Park Boathouse and Café
The lower path to the boathouse and café is the most accessible. The café is spacious and the surface area is sealed and level. There are a number of tables with removable chairs so wheelchairs can fit.
Bushland Circuit Trail
This 850 metre loop walk, beginning on the Studley Park picnic area side of the river at Kane’s Bridge, is accessible for most strollers and wheelchairs.
The accessible Bushaland Circuit Trail from Studley Park picnic area
The trail surface is made up of compacted fine gravel dirt and is mostly wide and even.

Kane’s Bridge – access across the Yarra River
There are sealed paths leading to the pedestrian bridge across the Yarra River from both ends. The path on the opposite side of the Studley Park picnic area has a gradient of approximately 1:12 and leads to a car park.
Sealed path on the opposite side of the river from the Studley Park picnic area
The bridge is approximately 1.8 metres wide and the decking consists of timber beams with two centimetre gaps making it difficult for walking frames, small wheeled strollers and wheelchairs to go over.
