Where to Ride in Kew
Kew has excellent access to green corridors, shared paths and useful local connections. Five worthwhile places and routes to explore include:
- Yarra trails around Studley Park and Kew Boulevard: Follow the river through Studley Park, then connect with the scenic paths beside Kew Boulevard. It is a beautiful choice for a relaxed ride, with shady sections, bridges and changing views of the Yarra.
- Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Centre and tennis loop paths: The paths around the Harold Holt area provide a convenient local circuit for gentle exercise, errands and building confidence on an e-bike. Check signs and give pedestrians priority on shared paths.
