The Kevin Hoffman Walk

Kevin Hoffman Walk is Lara’s native garden trail that stretches along the east side of the Hovells Creek.

The Walk is a gentle walking track that showcases a unique collection of native plants, sculptures, birds and wildlife.  

Kevin Hoffman, his family and supporters have shaped this significant native garden path since 1970, with its lush ground covers, flowering native trees and shrubs.  

This project was initially supported by the Shire of Corio and this continues with the City of Greater Geelong, along with local businesses and community groups.    

In 2013, Friends of Kevin Hoffman Walk Inc. were formed to ensure that this native walking trail continues to be well-maintained and evolve, for the enjoyment of all.

“It’s a garden of awesomeness!”
