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.  

Originally inspired by Kevin Hoffman and his family and supporters, have shaped this significant indigenous 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 such as the Lara Chamber of Commerce , Lions Club of Lara, Lara Secondary College, Lara District Men’s Shed – just to name a few.    

In 2013, Friends of Kevin Hoffman Walk Inc. were formed.  Their vision, mission statements and values ensure that this native walking trail continues to evolve, for the enjoyment of all.
