The Merri Creek Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians that follows the Merri Creek through the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.[1][2][3] HistoryThe first section of the Trail was opened in 1985 by the Prime Minister of Australia and the local member of Parliament, Bob Hawke.[4] In April 2010, connections to the Capital City Trail were improved with the addition of a new bridge across Merri Creek, 160m south of the junction of Union Street and Merri Parade.[5] SettingThe route is now sealed along its entirety, with the last unsealed sections replaced in 2008. Along the way it passes CERES, the Brunswick velodrome and the Coburg Lake park. At the Western Ring Road Trail, heading west leads to the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, Brimbank Park and the Maribyrnong River Trail. La Trobe University Bundoora campus can be accessed by following the trail east. Landmarks
