Koomba Park is the most northern of the parks which comprise the Dandenong Valley Parklands. Enjoy a quiet stroll through remnant vegetation alongside Dandenong Creek. Take the family ponding in one of the many ponds and billabongs scattered throughout the Park or enjoy a barbecue with friends under the shelter of the Koomba Pavilion.

Due to the different types of habitat, Koomba Park supports many kinds of fauna. In total, 11 species of mammals have been recorded, including Ringtail and Brushtail Possums, many species of bats and sugar gliders. Around 117 species of birds have been recorded in the Park, many of which are wetland and forest birds. There are also 23 species of reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Koomba Park contains areas of riparian forest (vegetation that grows along creeks and streams), wetlands & swamps and areas of indigenous revegetation. All these areas form an important link in the habitat corridor along the creek.
