The Friends of Braeside Park was one of the earliest Friends groups which are now attached to all metropolitan and state parks.  It was formed in August 1989 a few months after the official opening of Braeside Park this year we celebrate our 28th Anniversary.

 The Friends Group works closely with the Parks Victoria Rangers and is actively involved in:

·        park planning and development

·        tree planting

·        funding of tree carvings

·        seed collection and plant propagation

·        bird counting

·        salinity monitoring

·        water quality testing, and

·        monitoring bats and possums

Mordialloc By-Pass
The Mordialloc Bypass is now being planned with the build to be completed by 2022
This will greatly affect our Park as it runs right thru the lower section of the Park
near the Woodlands Estate and right near the Wetlands area
This will effect the Park Office adjoining facilities as well as the flora and fauna in the Park
Vicroads are currently awaiting an Environmental Study which is due to be released in late February
Keep posted on the developments and have your say by visiting their website.

As the Cypress trees come to the end of their life cycle they are turned into sculptures
