Gardiners Creek Reserve

Perfect place to go on walks (alone or with your dog) and enjoy nature. Beautiful and peaceful. I love it when you can see cute little ducklings around

Really beautiful place to go with your family, kids or friends. Great walking, running and cycling trail. If you're a dog owner or a lover, this is one of the places you should go to see those happy faces. There is ample spots around to park your vehicles. Highly recommend this reserve.

Nice place for a bbq. / covered seating area. Was easy to find parking
However there weren't many spots in the carpark we found. A busy day or once it becomes more well known. Might struggle for parking. A lot of dog walkers on / off leash dogs were Abundant.

Th3 covered seating areas make it great as it allows all weather events / park hangouts.

Large area, perfect for a quiet walk around the park with your dog of the lead, a picnic or even gathering with friends for a good cause.

There is a big open area, referred as the "Big oval" by regular park goers which is good for taking dogs of the lead.

In the middle there is a covered area with two tables and 2 coin gas barbecue/stoves. Right next to this area there is tap water.

Usually in the mornings and evenings there is some people jogging, running or riding their bikes.

Also there is a "Park run" in this park on Saturdays.

An excellent place for walking, running, walking your dog or just relaxing. The place is huge, so lots of places if you are looking to picnic, play or just chill. It is an off leash (dog) park too. Thanks.

We love taking our dog to the Gardiner's creek. Such a beautiful spot in the heart of eastern suburbs. We used live right on the reserve and our dog would go down to play with other dogs almost 4 times a day! Even though we have moved further away now still this reserve continues to be one of our favourites! Great place to socialize your dog, walk off lead and go for a quick swim in the creek. There's water fountains for your doggo in the park.

Great place for dogs and bike rides with kids. We ride a loop by the creek with a 4 and 7 year old. Spacious lovely park with a small playground about half way

Beautiful park with running water, lots of people and dogs. There is a small playground there as well. Peaceful being by the water, though it sometimes gets packed on the weekends.

I live nearby and I haven't been here until I decided to take my bike out for a spin around the area. I went in from High street and head up north to Box Hill South - lots of playground for the kids to get into and you can see ducks navigating the creek. Lots of shaded area where you and your family can sit down and have lunch or snacks.

Highly recommended for folks near the area.

Also, there is a "Dog Off Lead Area" where you can go to get your buddy to play with other dogs. They usually there around 4-6 in the afternoon.

Very nice and flat trail along Gardeners Creek starting from Blackburn lake and ends near Burnley Station with Yarra Bend Trail.

It’s a wonderful trail along the creek. The creek has rock formations on certain places. The kids loved the adventure of walking over them and thereby cross the creek.
The park essentially is a off lead area for dogs. There is an enclosed playground and BBQ facilities.

Peaceful, friendly and a good off-lead park for dogs. Gardiners Creek provides safe swimming for water loving pooches. Lots of bird species and safe walking paths. BBQ and picnic areas and pliof shade on hot days.

Really nice bike riding paths, the trees are great and we heard many frogs in the water ponds

Beautiful walk around Gardiner's Creek. Picnic and BBQ places and benches along the path for a sit and reflect. Great for off leash dogs but be aware cyclists share this path

Wonderful place for dogs and humans. Lots of bins, picnic areas and a great walk.

Gorgeous little walk. Lovely scenery, friendly people and dogs come here. Picnic areas with dog water bowls.

It's a lovely place with ample of trees and dog off leash areas for a walk. Upside, it has sufficient benches for a picnic and we'll maintained grass areas. On downside, no toilets access and bins are comparatively less. Water fountains are available at certain intervals so carrying drinking water for humans and dogs is less of worry.

A great suburban walking track. Gets busy at times and watch out for kids on bikes. Lot's of dogs on leases.

I am living 5 minutes walking distance from the reserve. I go to the reserve 3 - 4 times a week. I never feel bored.

The best part of the reserve is a very dog friendly park. There are not only tracks for walking dogs (around 3km round trip), but also are open spaces that your dogs will find friends to play with.

In the same time, it is a family friendly park. There are playgrounds, wetlands, BBQs, and ducklings.

It is a park defintely for dog lovers and families.

Great Parkrun, a bit narrow start of course but lovely place right in suburbia.
