The Syndal Heatherdale Pipe Reserve Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which follows the Syndal to Heatherdale pipe reserve in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
[1][2][3] The trail is navigable from one end to the other but most of the path is a poorly maintained gravel surface, with the only paved surface being between Highbury Road and Ballantyne Street.
Bicycle Victoria sees this as an important route, linking the Syndal railway station with the Tally Ho business park on Burwood highway, as part of an ongoing demand for a fully integrated transport strategy in Victoria[4] and is campaigning for improvements to the trail.
[5] The southern end of the path starts on the north side of Syndal Station, in Shirley Ave.
The path is clear cut except for three short road sections: The path terminates in the north at Brunswick Rd in Mitcham, where it meets the Box Hill to Ringwood Rail Trail.
