Candlebark Park is in Templestowe on the opposite side of Fitzsimons Lane to Westerfold Park and adjacent to the Yarra River. It is an excellent area for beginners. The tight corners and rocky sections provide some challenge and opportunity to hone skills. There are always kangaroos to be seen and plenty of bird life. Good parking is available. Toilets and picnic facilities are just a short walk away by crossing under the main road. I have ridden there about 30 times in the past year. It stands up well to wet weather when other MTB areas are muddy.

This area is a fabulous walking area taking in river walks, bush and open grasslands. The wild life is prolific and its worth spending several hours walking here. ( The fishing is worth trying.)
