Pipemakers Park is a historic pipemaking industrial site, which has been transformed into a park and wetlands. Historic bluestone factories have been recycled for community use. A wharf has been built, wetlands created, barbecues and picnic tables installed and an important link formed in the Maribyrnong River trail. The multi-use trail leads 15km upstream to Brimbank Park, East Keilor, and four kilometres downstream to the Stock Bridge at Kensington. Things to see and do: - Approached from a steep hill, the park has distant river views towards Flemington Racecourse and the city - Innovative landscaping retains the theme of the previous industrial history of the site - The main feature is the Living Museum of the West housed in a revamped factory, which provides information for self-guided tours and hosts a number of exhibitions, activities and special presentations on the cultural history of western Melbourne and the Maribyrnong River - Try fishing from the wharf - Go for a boat ride on the Maribyrnong River - Sit and relax in the pioneer womens shelter - Watch the bird life and look for tadpoles or listen to frogs amongst the reeds in the wetlands - Follow the path past the factory shed - See historic bluestone buildings - Take in Aboriginal history - Sealed and unsealed walking tracks through the park link with the Maribyrnong River trail Before you go Conditions can change in parks for many reasons.
