Maroondah Reservoir Park is a must-see in the Yarra Valley. The park is filled with playgrounds, manicured lawns and plenty of shade, making it the perfect picnic spot in the warmer months of the year. The Rose Steps Rotunda is a popular barbecue spot providing shade and seating close to the amenities and with great views from the dam spillway viewing area.
