My mistake, sorry.  The link I tried to post before, is
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-37.84597&lon=144.97075&zoom=16

If you look at aerial imagery, you'll see most of the park is open
grassland and the lake, however there is a path network in the park,
which is appropriately mapped and tagged.
