The park of choice this week has been Allnutt Park on Wheatley Rd, Bentleigh (between Centre and McKinnon Rds). With the wet winter producing lush greens and lots of spring flowers the park is looking great. For the four legged visitor, there is a substantial off lead area for foraging but if you prefer to not let your dog run a-muck, the other half of the park is on lead only. And if further walking is required, the park spills through to a nice path which runs between the houses, heading west and onto Thomas St.
I must say, the City of Glen Eira do cater for dogs in their parks. Poo bags are in abundance and the water fountains usually have some kind of bowl attachment for dogs to quench their thirst too.
Every year as the good weather comes around I mean to organise a picnic at Allnutt Park. The council takes bookings for the two BBQ areas and there is plenty of play equipment for the kids. Off street parking can be found at the south entrance on Wheatley rd or on the many side streets leading into the park, and indeed on Wheatley rd itself. There are plenty of park benches, but as you can see from the photos, the lush lawn is just asking for a sprawling picnic!
Bookings and enquiries for the BBQ areas (called Allnutt Park - Wright St) can be made through Glen Eira City Council 9524 3253
