Kirks Reservoir Park is one of the region’s most picturesque assets and is only a 10-minute drive from the centre of Ballarat. You’ll find ample parking, free undercover gas barbecues and toilet facilities at the park.

The wooden rotunda and surrounding garden (flat lawn) and the steel rotunda near the reservoir wall are ideal for wedding ceremonies (free, bookings required). School groups can learn about the water cycle and water efficiency at the Outdoor Education Centre.
