Gilpin Park Brunswick

Haven't been there yet. Looks close to me on the map. Gonna check it out in the next hour or so. Will check back in afterwards.

Edit: It's 1 Jan 2024, took me this long to get back there. Yup good park, bbqs by shaded area and playground facilities.

Great park for those with dogs. Lots of room to run around both fenced and unfenced, as well as a smaller fenced area for small or timid dogs and puppies.

Nice simple park with some playground equipment, tables (even some ping pong tables), and a dog park.

Gilpin park is all Australian native trees and had lovely rolling swaels in the landscape. Plenty of native birds and locals walking their dogs. Some BBQ areas by the kids play equipment with benches. A love spot for a suburb light on parks.

They fixed the playground which needed to happen before the year 2000. Then forgot that little kids (let's go with under 3) also would like to play. Except letting a little child on what's there now could end up with some inherent risk associated issues.

Much better than what it was and they even made it a nice play for parents to watch over their kids or stare at their phones. Whatever is more important at the time.

Play with your kids in here, so much fun. You can bring your family in here to make BBQ party, the park provide grill stove

New park is a big improvement over the previous one. Bbq, tables and done play equipment for various ages.

Great big park. Enclosed dog area, nice walking track, kids playground, toilets and open grass area

Well-manicured park. Nice for a stroll.

Note that the eastern end is currently fenced off with works to create (what appears to be) as new play zone.

Its a beutiful park, currently hosting burnswick music festival, with amazing lineup of performers. Must visit.

Amazing park! Biggest off leash area for dogs I can find in inner Melbourne and a separate enclosed dog park.

Awesome park for running and taking dogs. Approx 800m to run/walk a lap - flat topography. Two fenced off-lead dog areas. Children playground at opposite end of dog area. A very well designed multi-purpose park.

We weren't hugh fans of this park, have been to much better in Melbourne but still quite convenient if you live in the area.

Great dog park, there is an included area for dogs to play together, bins everywhere for waste bags, great place very tidy.

Not a whole lot of grass during summer. Depending on the time you go, some dogs can be a little cray cray and their owners don’t seem to care.

Open space to take fur-babies and/or human offspring. Fenced area for dogs and owners that need it, open space for others, play equipment and BBQ, missing a public toilet though. Park is not irrigated so does dry out in summer.

Good for dog lovers,
Friendly crowd
There is both enclosed and non enclosed park
In the enclosed there is a dedicated puppy area
Also a meet up sat 10am for small dogs

Plenty of water fountains and even coffee and food trucks and sunny days

You can drink alcohol in this park, there's often a coffee stall and there's a closed off dog area, what's not to love. Would be nice if there were a toilet though, closest one is 700m away and usually has a line of waiting folks.

Grass bad for dogs at certain times of year - lots of burs. Good smaller off lead enclosure for mini dogs and puppies alongside the big one.

Large open-spaced park with an excellent secured dog off-leash area. The park is really popular with dog owners of all shapes and sizes and a nice walk through the paths with a small playground for the kids.
