Weston Park
Weston Park is a public park located on a peninsula on a peninsula on the western side of Lake Burley Griffin. Visitors go here for walking along the lakeshore and accessing the waterfront in a quiet setting.

The park is located west of the Canberra city centre. It is accessible via car or bicycle, typically taking about 10 to 15 minutes to reach from the central business district depending on traffic.
Duration of Visit
Depending on the pace of your walk, allow 1 to 2 hours to explore the peninsula and the surrounding shoreline paths.
When to Visit
The park is suitable for visits throughout the year. Spring and autumn are generally preferred for walking due to milder temperatures. It is typically less crowded than the main city attractions, though it may see more visitors during weekends.
