The Ardeer Green Activity Hub is located off West Street, Ardeer and has two major cycling routes intersecting at the park; the M80 path and Kororoit Creek Trail, which then links to the Federation Trail to the city. The site also has strong environmental values with riparian vegetation to the Kororoit Creek and a strand of existing Sugar Gums.
