Most cleanest and surrounded by trees in Burwood area! Very relaxing🧑🏾‍🦼🏃🏻walking trail and with beautiful scenery 🌿🪴🌳🌴 Love the walking trail however the cyclists 🚴‍♀️ should take more care about the others 🌳#parks #walking paths#dog #off-leash dogs #ashwood 🦮🐕‍🦺 Recommendation added on the 6th Mar 2023 We used the walking trail today for the first time after 8pm. It would be great if sensor lights could be installed. Not sure if the night lights will make an impact on the animals though 🤔

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

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.

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.

Beautifully spruced up and restored; though Deakin seems to be "encroaching" into her borders. Remember an earlier time when there were ducks in the creek ...

impressive view, the sunset is extremely beautiful.

Superb - my new favourite place for walking Teddy & Bertie

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.

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 views

One of the best and busiest beach near to Melbourne city. Especially famous for swimming, boating and fishing.

Probably the best beach along the peninsula...

Nice place for a evening sunset outing by the beach. A small walk to pier with the Crescent shaped beach view was awesome. If lucky can go for fishing as well by the pier for a fresh catch.

Gorgeous beach with good facilities (public toilets, cafe etc.) beautiful clear water and a great place to take your kayak for a paddle in the bay. TOP TIP: the beach to the left of the sailing club was a lot quieter but just as pretty!

Awesome

A beautiful walking trail with easy access for all ages. The trail was great for walking, running or cycling, and fantastic for taking your dog both on and off leash, depending on the area of the reserve. The walk can be shortened, or continue all around the creek. There are several car park places available, and lots of picnic areas and a children's playground.

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.

Great open offleash trail for the dogs to run, but the water in the creek and swale generally are pretty murky / muddy. But it has quickly turned into my dog's favourite place for a run & swim. There's also a nearby dog friendly shopping centre (Burwood Brickworks) to grab a bite / coffee / drink afterwards. About 5 mins drive away.

Wide useful track linking Burwood to Box Hill and Burwood to City in opposite directions. I bike and it saves 110m + /- in elevations on roads Burwood to box hill as follows creek but has zero personality, zero fun bits and zero standout features l... It's the same from start to finish pretty much. Utilitarian if nothing else.

Nice beach for family friends. Kids enjoyed very much. It also has toilet, which are clean, car parking(ticket) is available also.

Such an amazing spot especially during sunset!!

Amazing view😍

Great spot for dogs to run around with lot's of different tracks to take. Can get a bit muddy in some areas when it's been raining consecutively. Just means you take a different path.

Fantastic trail to run on. Super flat and takes you all the way to the city. It’s well-kept and has water taps and bike repair stations so it’s a very well supported trail. I come here every Sunday for my long runs.

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.

Nice place nice food

Great place to enjoy an evening walk or to have a small picnic on the rocks watching the sunset. Sunsets are truly bewitching here! If you wish, you can take a walk to the pier and go to the cafe. Toilet and parking are available.

Good place to visit in the warmer weather

Splendid beach! Stunning rock!

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

Very nice place 💕

Fantastic view and historical place with a very poetic name, half moon. Shipwreck the cliff are the landmark. Especially the cliff reminds of Nevada somehow.

Great food Warm staff

Great pier for a picnic and lovely fish and chips nearby. Beautiful and only 25 mins drive from the centre of Melb.

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.

Pleasant place to go for a walk, and fishing. Family- and children-friendly. A lot of people enjoy their picnic on the deck and there is a restaurant, looks good. Me and boyfriend fished for few times, not my fishes bite the hook but only the puffer fish, fun enough though,

Quiet great beach with good fish and chips on the foreshore.

Great spot for swim or dinner or just chilling. Enjoy the sand.

Awesome on a quiet day, not heaps of sand so you are close to the water without a big walk across it. Also great for little kids as it is generally shallow and calm. Kiosk close-by for coffees/icecreams too. Only thing is parking is metered and not cheap, but most beaches along that stretch are similar anyway.

What a beautiful place, just the tour was a bit in rush

Great beach. Has public toilets and cafe. People need to pick up their own rubbish. All day parking cost is $17. People smoked on the beach. Otherwise great for kids and paddling.

Safe and wonderful beach for families.

Beautiful beach !

Lovely park and walking tracks, great for dogs and people, has a bbq area with a drinking fountain and lots of bins along the track. It gets quite busy at the end of the work day but any other time is fairly quiet.

Beautiful spot. Stunning views.

Love this place, highly recommend for people of all ages

Best beach in Melbourne (Mediterranean feel)

Nice beach very popular

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.

Nice place to chill out. There were not many peoples.

Well used and spacious

Lovely place to walk dogs off the lead.

Beauty

Great for dogs! Lots of friendly people with tons of dogs off leash. I wouldn't bring an antisocial dog here or come if you don't like furry friends saying hello

An unexpected hidden gem in the suburbs.

Great place for a walk. Bit of litter around the place, otherwise very nice.

Good dog park

Quite and chill place for jog👍🏻

Fantastic place to stroll, run or walk the dog. Feel like you've gone to the country for 30 minutes.

Great bit of parkland. Good for offlead capable dogs (and owners). Pick up your poo! Good for a jog, Park Run Saturday 8am(?). Just a really nice chill place for some fresh air.

Awesome for a peaceful bike ride😌

Loved the place, good place for cycling and walking

Great place to walk the dog off leash.

Great place to walk with the kids and dog. It is OK for prams but keep in mind most of the paths are not sealed so just be prepared.

Well maintained and safe place to exercise, have picnics and hangout in general.

"You tack the high road and I will the low road". Your start point can be the Carpark adjacent to the Bennetswood Bowling Club on Station Street. Check out the signage as there are restrictions. This walk meanders along the Gardiners Creek through a gentle landscape splitting into a creek walk and a bush walk, joining again at the rear of Deakin University. There is plenty of shade from the sun making this a relatively cool walk in the summer. A delightful walk or a healthy run; it is up to you. I can guarantee you will love it and visit it often.

Fantastic wonderland, walk,ride, dogs run, fantastic water ways, have a picnic take the kids, mum and dad , clean up after your picnic or dog and enjoy your next visit.

Good for waking running, mainly for pets

Very serene atmosphere especially for early morning walks

Great park to let the dog off lead to run & swim 👍👍

A great place for a long stroll with the dog or a bike ride with the kids. Barre at its best

Love walking my dog along here every day.

Great park for off leash walking.

Very beautiful park with nice walks along the river, favourite sections were the parts of the river with stones that I could step across and exercise my ankle strength and dexterity. Lots of beautiful dogs (off-leash park), really enjoyed getting to appreciate both the scenery and the friendly dogs constantly running by having a grand ol time. They were all good dogs and deserved that joy. Minus one star for... a park bench being ripped out of its flooring and tossed into the river?? What's up with that?? Honestly like not a huge impact on my experience but I do want parks and waterways - particularly ones with such beautiful bird life - to be treated a little better than that. I'm sure it's not the park caretaker's fault, or I hope not, but honestly I don't even know how someone could carry that bench and table there without some kind of mechanical assistance or superhuman strength, given that the bench was clearly positioned more than 10 meters from the water AND there was a fence and bushes partially in the way. Honestly I just want the gossip on whoever created that mayhem and will update with 5 stars if someone gives me the sweet goss.

Ship wreck, rocks, and good for swimming . Overall an amazing experience

This is my favorite bay in Melbourne. we have made some really good memories here.

I’ve been living in Melbourne all of my life and I didn’t know this was here! Beautiful local beach!

A very nice beach. Sand is soft and clean. Water is shadow, peaceful and crystal clear. Very friendly for young kids. There is around three unisex public toilets for change. There is also a public water shower point to clean up the salt water and sand. There is a boat ramp suitable for boating. Car park is $17.5 per day which is a bit pricey. Overall a nice beach to visit.

So many awesome summer memories. Love hiding away from the crowd here.

Here is my abbreviated TripAdvisor review of Half Moon Bay Victoria. It is a stunning bay / beach. It has exceptional rock formations and cliffs, interesting walking paths and has works from the Bayside Artists Trail - see separate review. It is part of the suburb Black Rock and houses their Yacht Club, a pier, some restaurants, beach huts and the remains of the Cerberus, a historic shipwreck.There are a few carparks to choose from al with app or credit card access. When I was there some models were doing a photo shoot along the rocks which were a great contrast to their clothes. Grab some fish and chips and eat along the water break near the pier, just like I saw some tourists do. It is such a sheltered inlet that it is popular with families with little children and the locals. It is worth spending at least an hour walking around here and viewing all there is to see. Don't forget your camera!

A nice beach but can get a tad windy. Great to see the ship wreck off the coast

Great place to be at sunset. Not so crowded. Plenty of parking spaces as well.

Off-lead dog area. Lots of friendly dogs and owners. Great kids playground.

Fabulous extremely popular shaded with access to creek for doggos.

Well maintained and amply spread

Wonderful off-leash park that's big enough to tire the dogs out...and let them swim.

Fabulous piece of natural bushland for a walk, bicycle or off lead dog run.

Great place to walk dogs off lead..they can also swim.in the creek

Lots of dogs here. My poodle enjoys coming here.

Lovely place for a walk L

Good off lead dog area along the river

This is a good walk

A lovely green walk away from the usual buzz of things.

Love it there

Beautiful green area of land with a creek running through it. Dog friendly and people friendly ! 😁

Great off leash park, good distance, open areas and natural variations, including some bush and rocky areas within the creek. Toilet facilities would be a great addition, especially given the additional availability of wonderful bbq and playground equipment.
