MAYER PARK

Public BBQ

A large off-leash dog park in Thornbury that doubles as a sports oval, big enough that dogs and players stay out of each other's way. There are cricket nets, soccer goals, outdoor gym equipment on one corner and water fountains that actually work. The river runs alongside, and it is worth keeping dogs well clear of the bank - at least one has drowned there. From the entrance next to the golf course you can walk through to CERES or on into Northcote. Two consistent drawbacks: it turns into a swamp after heavy winter rain, as most Darebin parks do, and the lighting is poor enough that people avoid it after dark. The toilets have been found closed.
