CC Hood Reserve – Playground

The dog park is great. I have taken Hudson (golden retriever) to the park three times and believe the facility is great. It has tunnels (for the dogs to run through), poles (for the dogs to weave through) and finally it has jumps. This park is fully enclosed with high fences and a double gate. (to ensure that your dog will not run away). the park has taps with bowls (so the dogs can have a drink of water when needed) and it has poopy bags to keep the park clean. this park is great in dryer weather conditions but in winter it gets muddy as the park is not entirely covered with grass and bark (watch out for muddy puddles). If it is raining there are shelters with benches under neath and a concrete floor. The enclosed park is a ²⁴⁄₇ off leash dog park but the rest of the reserve requires the dogs to be on-​leash most of the time. for more info on where dogs can and can’t be of-​leash I suggest checking the website. if you scroll down on the website you will see where you can and can’t have your dog off-​leash.

over all my dog had fun and thats all that mattered.

Our usual park was «closed for maintenance“‘ so we journeyed here instead. We met some great dogs and their owners. There are all sorts of agility facilities here for dogs, as well as shelters, places to sit, water fountains and poo bags. It was shady in a hot afternoon and the fenced in area allows for hours of off-​leash games of chasie. We’ll be back!

Ok, firstly let me tell you that if you want to use the playground specifically, park along Eliza Place, around Bligh St. This is a big park land!
Secondly, this was more of a three and a half star playground in my books but I can’t rate it as a three, it feels wrong :-)
For a small area, they have actually done a good job of adding equipment for a few age groups, the only issue I have is that there aren’t steps for the littler ones to climb up to the slide.
There’s a table/​chair area to the right of the playground. I couldn’t take a photos as there was a family enjoying some morning tea. Got to love a playground that gets used to it’s full capacity.
Unfortunately I didn’t see a drinking fountain, but I’m sure that there had to be one somewhere. Surely even the Mitcham City Council would put in a drinking fountain or at least a tap for the awesome, fenced dog park that’s also here.
