Shared walking and cycling path along the Cooks River through Burwood Council parks in Croydon Park, lit at night.

The Cooks River Pedestrian and Cycle Pathway runs through Burwood Council's network of parkland along the Cooks River foreshore in Croydon Park. According to the council, the path passes through Walsh Avenue Reserve (bounded by Walsh Avenue, Georges River Road and the river, upgraded in 2026), Whiddon Reserve (access via Lees Avenue and Walsh Avenue), Brown Reserve (off Lees Avenue and Trelawney Street) and Flockhart Park (bounded by Burwood Road, Hextol and Trelawney Streets). The path is lit at night by solar lighting. Part of Flockhart Park is used as a sportsground. Burwood Council's website shows a live open or closed status for each park. The council pages do not list facilities such as toilets, playgrounds or parking.
