Truganina Coastal Parklands were formed through the ‘recycling’ of more than 300 hectares of parks and former industrial land and are now the largest cluster of parks on Port Phillip Bay.
They are comprised of Truganina Park, Truganina Explosives Reserve, Truganina Swamp, Kooringal Golf Course, Altona Treatment Plant, Apex Park and Doug Grant Reserve.
The Laverton Creek which runs south into Port Phillip Bay separates Truganina Park and Altona Treatment Plant on the western side from the other areas on the eastern side.
Truganina Park is linked to the Explosives Reserve by the Laverton Creek Bridge – a wooden cycle and foot bridge.
