Adventure park with play equipment and a skate park. A picnic area at the park has barbeques, shelter, toilets, and baby change areas. On the second Sunday of each month from 10AM-2PM, there is a local sellers' market at the park.
This park is located on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range. Masons Falls Picnic Area, at the end of Masons Falls Road, has barbecues, shelters, tables, and toilets. From the picnic area, you can take the 700-m walk to the waterfall lookout platform. The 500-m Lyrebird Circuit Walk, which also leaves from the picnic area, passes some of the oldest trees in the park and is designed for people with limited mobility. From the waterfall lookout, there's the 7.8-km Running Creek walk, which is more challenging and goes through gullies and new native bush.
A stunning hidden gem just north of Kinglake. It's not much of a walk to get here, and the walk is pretty easy.
Starting from the carpark at the Bowden Spur Mountain Bike area, Shepherds Track begins. It includes steep gradients and obstacles, and is only suitable for Downhill or Enduro bikes. Trail bikes are not permitted. Full body armour and helmets are essential.

Just outside of Kinglake town is this small B&B, which consists of 4 small cottages that they call "nests", an apartment, and a guest suite,
