Ringwood Lake Park is a significant cultural asset valued by the Maroondah community. The lake is a Maroondah City icon and the 8.5 hectare park has been enjoyed by many locals and visitors since it’s creation in the 1920s. The significance of the park has been highlighted through the preservation of the local history, pleasant naturally significant surroundings and by hosting annual festivals.

Ringwood Lake Park is located at the corner of Maroondah Highway and Mt Dandenong Road next to the Belgrave railway line. The lake is about 1 hectare in size with a shoreline of 1 km and a maximum depth of 4.3 m. In 1926 the lake was created, with community co-operation, by damming the Sandy Creek which flowed north-westerly to the Mullum Mullum Creek. It was an area of mud, fallen logs and grasses which now provides alternative habitat for wildlife as well as passive recreational opportunities.
