Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Deer Park à Docklands

Set off from Deer Park, a peaceful western suburb of Melbourne known for its lovely parks and easygoing vibe. The 29 km ride into Docklands is mostly on smooth, paved cycleways—perfect for cruising and barely a busy road in sight. You’ll start with a gentle climb (about 190 meters of ascent altogether), so expect a few mild uphills, but the majority is flat or downhill as you approach the city.

The route weaves through neighborhoods and green spaces, letting you escape traffic and enjoy a quieter side of Melbourne. Most of your wheels will roll over concrete and asphalt, so it’s a comfy ride, though you might hit a couple of short stretches with other surfaces—nothing too wild.

Arriving in Docklands, you’ll swap suburban calm for waterfront buzz. Docklands is famous for its modern skyline, cool eateries, and public art peppering the harbourside. Grab a coffee or just relax and take in those city views—perfect reward for a solid pedal from Deer Park!
