Friends of Braeside Park was one of the earliest Friends of Parks groups which are now attached to all metropolitan and state parks.  It was formed in August 1989 a few months after the official opening of the Park.

 The Friends Group works closely with the Parks Victoria Rangers and is actively involved in:

·        park planning and development

·        tree planting

·        seed collection and plant propagation

·        bird counting

·        salinity monitoring

·        water quality testing, and

·        monitoring bats and possums
