Karkarook Park


Karkarook Park is a metropolitan park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. An artificial wetlands and lake created by extracting sand between 1997 and 2001, it is located on Warrigal Road in Moorabbin. Fishing is possible, with redfin perch and rainbow trout reported.

Prior to sand removal, Karkarook Park and adjacent areas were largely used as a storm-water retarding basin and for market gardens and horse agistment.

In 2011, the Victorian government released plans for Karkarook Park to be joined up with nearby parks in the south-east green wedge to form a "chain of parks." Parks in the south-east to be connected include Braeside Park.
