Elwood: Park, Walks and Sunsets

Elwood offers several reasons to spend time outdoors: sports and picnics at Elwood Park and Foreshore, walks or bike rides along the Elwood Canal and Elwood Beach, and Point Ormond, a popular spot for watching the sunset. You can also explore the iconic tree-lined streets on foot. This gives you a choice of different holiday experiences. Consider what you’d like your stay to be centred around before choosing a holiday rental to suit your plans.

Exercise and picnics in the park

Elwood Park and Foreshore has areas for sports and recreation, picnics, off-leash dog exercise, and outdoor fitness equipment. There’s a range of options, from exercise to a picnic break. If you’re travelling with a dog, you can factor the designated off-leash area into your day’s plans. If you’re planning a family trip, you can balance everyone’s different interests rather than limiting the park to a single activity. The outdoor fitness equipment provides a specific option for those who want to focus on exercise.

Walks and bike rides along the canal and beach

You can walk or cycle along the Elwood Canal, and do the same along Elwood Beach. When planning your day, you can consider your mode of transport and the setting separately: both a walk and a bike ride are options at either location. Then you can choose whether the Elwood Canal or Elwood Beach better suits your interests. This can be useful if you want to plan your holiday days around the activity you’d like to do, without committing to either location just yet.

Streetscapes and sunsets

You can also explore Elwood’s iconic tree-lined streets on foot. Here, the focus is on walking through the streets themselves. Point Ormond offers a different experience: it’s a popular spot for watching the sunset. This gives you two distinct experiences—a walk through the streets and watching the sunset. When planning your day, consider whether you’d like to explore the streets on foot or watch the sunset at Point Ormond.

Food, shopping and choosing your holiday rental

Elwood Shopping Village on Ormond Road offers food and drinks as well as shopping. If you’d like to include these options in your holiday plans, keep in mind that businesses and what they offer can change; check what’s currently available if you have specific plans.

When looking for a holiday rental in Elwood, you can base your choice of location on the experiences you’d like your stay to be centred around. Are you mainly planning to spend time outdoors, or would you also like to include Elwood Shopping Village in your plans? If you’re travelling with family, discuss which interests matter to everyone and where different preferences should be taken into account. This way, you can consider the kind of holiday you want alongside your accommodation when making your choice.
