Description
This walk gives you the opportunity to get 75%
of your recommended daily dose of physical
exercise from simply walking to your
destination. By getting off one station earlier
you can enjoy a 20 minute walk through a green
and scenic park while having the chance for
some window shopping or a café visit along the
way.
After leaving Hawthorn station, head towards
the busy Burwood Road to the pedestrian
crossing just left of the station. A little way
along this road to your left is Elgin Street, with
the Elgin Inn Hotel on the corner. Turn left here
and after a minute you will notice you have
crossed the railway line. Turn right to walk along
Lennox Street which runs next to the rail lines.
At the end of Lennox Street is Power Street and
straight ahead is the unnamed entrance to Grace
Park. Cross this busy road using the island to
stop in the middle if necessary. Enter Grace Park
and follow the pathway towards the green oasis
which will open up in front of you.
Being in this beautiful environment makes this
walk worth taking the time to do. Continue
along this path and up ahead is another delight;
an oak tree-lined pathway. There are seats and
a water fountain along this pathway and the tall
trees provide shade and shelter.
At the end of this special section of the path,
there is a wide and even surfaced pathway to
the right. This is a shared walking and cycling
pathway which takes you past the tennis courts
and back into the street.

Head north along Hilda Crescent, then turn right
onto Linda Crescent at the Hawthorn Football
club and walk past Glenferrie Oval. At the end of
Linda Crescent is some public artwork! On the
corner building is a 6x3 metre mural painted by
renowned Melbourne artist Adrian Doyle and
some Very Special Kids, depicting life in
Melbourne’s leafy eastern suburbs.
Turn right onto Glenferrie Road, there is a
supermarket and plenty of other shops and
services along this road. Just ahead is a
pedestrian crossing at the corner of Wakefield
Street which allows you to safely cross this busy
road and follow Wakefield Street all the way to
‘The George’ Building at the heart of Swinburne
University.
