JOHN CROCI RESERVE

Public BBQ

John Croci Reserve presents itself as one of those wonderfully multipurpose Australian parks that seems to have something for everyone, though not necessarily all at once. The covered areas prove invaluable during Melbourne's unpredictable weather - perfect for maintaining that crucial board game concentration when the heavens open. There's a persistent, rather mysterious aroma that wafts through certain sections, adding an unexpected sensory dimension to your visit. The barbecue facilities are well-positioned for family gatherings, while the kids gravitate naturally between the playground and the open oval space. The dog park keeps the four-legged visitors entertained, and judging by the enthusiastic pleas for return visits from younger family members, there's clearly something magnetic about this place. It's the sort of local gem that grows on you, strange smells and all.
