Central Park — Attraction in Melbourne

Can be beautiful in nice weather. But lately it's very muddy,slippery and full of puddles all over grass and walking area. Also isn't best accessibility for those using mobility aids due to rough walking trail surface. Also huge annoyance is people bringing vicious dogs here to an off leash dog park? I was looking after my little godson (little schnauzer) who is lovely and so good with other dogs and good off leash, when a man swore at him, went to kick him and then stomped on his lead very violent so poor Georgie flew back. And the old man and the old woman he was with had the AUDACITY to be offended when I said not to touch my little Georgie, they said that their dog is vicious and will bite and they were trying to protect my dog. I told them to go elsewhere or put a muzzle on their dog as they're at a dog park.

For some reason it’s left high n dry. •••NEEDS URGENT MAINTENANCE ••• But for this , my...

Central park is a lovely green space to spend time in. Just won't let my dog off leash on the oval in case she runs on the road. Something for everyone. However the new playground doesn't offer much for children of all ages once they have looked in the boxes once they will lose interest. Where are the saw saws and other equipment kids play on?. Seems like a bit of a waste of taxpayers money. Looks nice but not a lot to entertain children.

Personally I don't have children but I have a dog and would be happier if the oval was fenced in as one of my previous pups ran off the oval and was hit by a car on Wattletree road. It was very traumatic and expensive to have her fixed.

Plenty of areas for a picnic.

They need more gardeners. Apparently there is only one. A bit hard to maintain a whole park with such...
