Ruffey Lake Park

City of Manningham, Australia

The Ruffey Lake Park is a 66-to-68-hectare (160-to-170-acre) urban park in the City of Manningham, in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The park is a terminus of the Ruffey Creek Trail. Established in 1977, the park is located adjacent to Ruffey Creek, a watercourse that runs through the park, that provided water for the surrounding orchards. In 1974, the land was purchased by Manningham Council, with Ruffey Creek dammed creating the eponymous lake. The creek forms a border between Doncaster and Templestowe. The park is located on the Traditional Lands of the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people; with a strong connection with the community through the nearby Westerfolds Park, at Templestowe.
