Wonga Park
Renowned for its relaxed, tranquil treed environs, Wonga Park is superbly positioned 29km north-east from Melbourne’s central business district. In the late 1800’s, the area was a mixture of orchards, grazing properties and timbered land with smaller properties being established with income from firewood that came when clearing the land. Residential living is most concentrated around the old village settlement where the church, hall, sports facilities, fire station and local shops are located. Many of the residential blocks being large in size create a private sanctuary for many of its residents. Wonga Park houses the local tennis and cricket clubs, Scouts, canoeing and numerous horse riding facilities. It offers a host of public amenities including Restaurants and Cafes as well as the Heritage Golf and Country Club. The Village Shopping precinct and the ever popular Yarra River frame Wonga Park in a picturesque landscape, highlighted by prestigious lifestyle properties and a delightful rural aspect. Close to the Eastern Freeway and Eastlink projects, it’s the perfect place where “country meets convenience”. Poised at the gateway to the Yarra Valley Tourist region renowned for its superb scenery, wineries, forests and mountains, Wonga Park’s undulating landscape is the perfect place to be.
