Jack Roper Reserve — Attraction in Melbourne

I have been going to this park since I was a kid. It has improved a lot. They have installed a new playground and toilets.

great place for a bbq or to walk the dog, or bike ride along the trails.

Few problems I see are the water is polluted. It is storm water drain off so that’s understandable I guess?

It doesn’t always feel safe around the tunnel/back area of the park going towards Glenroy.

Too many people off-leashing their dogs there. It’s right next to a kids playground, a lake with many distracting birds, & there are other dog walkers. There’s also a disability centre nearby and they bring people to the park.

Don’t.unleash.your.dog.

There’s actually park directly across the street for off leash walking. Go there instead.

Many people litter and leave discarded food everywhere. Especially bread for the birds.

Don’t do it. Put your leftovers in a container and take them home. Take your bones, seed husks stale bread etc and put them in one of the bins.

Keep the place clean and safe for the next person...

I give it 3 stars because the people who live in the area don't care about environment at all, rubbish everywhere in the lake i seen floating baby prams motorcycle and rubbish bags full of rubbish in the lake, i even seen a sheep head near the bridge, it shows you how bad and selfish people are that live near that area. I used to go there when I was young, in 1997 99 and it was clean water plenty of fish, now the water is covered with some green slimey weed, no fish at all is disgusting to even be there. Now the kids playground is good plenty of slides swings and other activities. Is people like this will make the vic governmen impose fees for entry in the future, and the people who dump rubbish in the lake are the ones who...
