About Hunt Reserve
Off-Leash Dog Area at Hunt Reserve
Hunt Reserve has a fully fenced off-leash dog park that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A double-gated airlock entry lets dog owners unclip leads before stepping into the main run. Synthetic turf sits directly inside the gate to limit mud after rain, while natural grass beyond it is shaded by mature gum trees. Timber and metal park benches line the fence, and a council drinking bubbler with a dog bowl supplies water for dogs. The enclosure has no separate small-dog yard, no agility equipment and no night lighting.
Playground at Hunt Reserve
Hunt Reserve has a leisure playground designed for children aged four and above. A toddler-friendly area is included in the play space, which is listed as fully fenced. Seats and tables are provided for carers beside the equipment. An inclusive playground sits just outside the dog area, along the paved reserve path, giving younger and less mobile visitors a second play option.
Barbecue and Picnic Areas at Hunt Reserve
Hunt Reserve has shaded barbecue areas spread through its bushland, making it a practical spot for a cookout under tree cover. Picnic tables are available around the reserve, and park benches are installed inside the dog park fence for owners who want to sit while their dogs run. The reserve also has a small scooter track for younger riders. The paved reserve path links these areas with the dog park and the playground.
