There will be an increased police presence at Royal Park in Melbourne this morning where a woman's body was found yesterday.

Police are yet to identify the body which was found by dog walkers near tennis courts at Parkville yesterday morning.

Mounted police, bike patrols and officers will be on site today as investigations continue into how the woman died.

Police are hoping a post-mortem will help them answer key questions about the mysterious death.

Yesterday dozens of SES volunteers have scoured the Melbourne park where a woman's body was found.

Victorian police are also appealing to the public for help in identifying the woman and how she came to her tragic death.

Homicide detectives don't know if the woman was sexually assaulted before she was murdered or who she is but the body has now been removed from the scene and a post-mortem will be conducted.

The as-yet unidentified woman was found just a few kilometres away from Eurydice Dixon was murdered last year, making her the fourth woman in 12 months to be murdered in Melbourne.

One of Victoria's top cops has made an impassioned statement decrying violence against woman after another body was found in a Melbourne park.

Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius lamented the violence being perpetrated by men against women.

"This is about men's behaviour. This is not about women's behaviour," he told reporters.

"For me as a man, it gives me pause for reflection."

Police declined to say how old the victim was or how she died.

Asst Comm Cornelius said locals could expect to see an increased police presence in the area as they hunt for a suspect.

"We are bringing as many resources as we can, so we can return this park to the community," he said.

Homicide detectives are scouring the scene and are calling for the public to help.

"If it's the most miniscule piece of information, please contact Crime Stoppers," homicide detective Andrew Stamper said.

Police are preparing for a line-search, but a forecast of rain in Melbourne may complicate that process.
