The reserve has natural bush and a country feel, enhanced by Darebin Creek running through it. The area was once home to a dairy farm, vineyard and quarry. There are many areas to explore and numerous options for walkers, cyclists and picnickers. It is managed by the Darebin Creek Management Committee.
