This is a large park area with three distinct sections. There is a large, fenced oval that is often used for local football or cricket games depending on the season. There are cricket training nets available beside the oval, as well as The Clubhouse. Thee Bentleigh Tennis Club is also closely with a number of courts available and a convenient carpark area. The second area is a large, green, open oval. On Sunday's this area is a popular meeting area for local friendly dog enthusiasts. Beside the field is a small playground and toilet facilities. Finally, as you walk up hill there is a gazebo with BBQ facilities and some exercise equipment and a Snakes and Ladders Game. The local kindergarten and community hall sit at the bottom of this small hill near another carpark. There are a number of Pokemon stops within different areas of this Reserve.

Nice place to go and walk your dog and let your children play at the playground. The playground is on the outer area of a large open space that is a dog off leash zone (playground and nearby path is dog on leash). A foot path circles the open space area for those wishing to get their step count up. There are a couple of public toilets and a basketball court for those brave enough to attempt 3 pointers in public. The area is lit during week nights only.
Playground
Nice little playground with soft spongy flooring
Restrooms
2 all gender public toilets
Dog-friendliness
Quite a few dog owners gather to give their pups a run in the open space. Has doggy doo doo bags for cleaning up after nature calls.

This is a good park to go for a walk it has some exceptionlly beautiful trees. The downside if you happen to be walking the dog is there is sometimes alot of sports being played. Can get quite busy in the peak periods of day. Great for the weekends. Has a bbq and a cool playground for the young or young at hard. The tennis club is located here to within the park. Lots of parking available. It has a public toilet. Gravel walk track. Great for a walk by yourself or with friends. It doesn't close which is convenient .

Bentleigh Reserve has quickly become our family’s favorite weekend spot! With wide-open spaces and well-maintained walking paths, it’s perfect for letting my two dogs roam and play. Meanwhile, the playground area keeps my three kids entertained for hours. The reserve offers a safe and vibrant environment, making it the ideal place for families to relax and enjoy some quality outdoor time together. A true gem in our community!

We like the off leash dog area. It's a bit close to two play/playground areas which are very nice. Nice place to get your steps in. There's an upper park area as well, with picnic tables, and a play area for the little, little kids. That has a sand pit. I also believe there are some fitness stations so you can do your situps, etc. Close to restaurants, Woolies, the RSL. Nice spots to eat on the grass.

Pleasant and clean park to walk the dog and I enjoyed the golden hour of sunlight in the late afternoon.
Playground
Two playground areas in total one for little kids and one for older kids.
Dog-friendliness
You can walk your dog off lead around the walk around track.
Picnic area
Great for social events and birthday parties for the kids.

Lovely playground, open off leash area, exercise area on an adjacent upper level ground, footy/cricket oval, 3x cricket nets, walking/cycling track, lawn bowls are some of the facilities available on site. Not overly crowded on most days. The local dog owners have a catch-up every evening and puppy school is run on Thursday and Sunday mornings.

A great park with multiple areas to enjoy the outdoors. Footy oval, dog friendly park, exercise Park, formal gardens, bowls & tennis courts. It is rather large in a suburban environment. Always popular on weekends & right against the main street of Bentleigh, easy to have a nice arvo out & grab a bite to eat too.

Nice small park. Great for a picnic or a walk. Dogs have plenty of space to run around and play. Would recommend if you live nearby.
Dog-friendliness
Dogs are allowed off leash, and there is minimal chance they could eacape the park.

It's gotten very popular with child families but still possible to have fun without any as the snakes n ladders is great and waiting until around 5 when the kids have gone to walk around the main playground is pretty fun with some mates

We love this place for walking our dogs. This is doggy heaven on a Sunday morning with the local dog trainers taking classes. If you want to see breeds of dogs you've never seen before get on down here for your morning walk on a Sunday

A good sized park which is great for dogs and young children alike. The off-leash area for dogs is relatively large for subruban Melbourne. For children, there are 2 separate playgrounds and a giant snakes & ladders game.

One of my favourite parks. The place is huge, with different areas- oval for running, playground, a place to exercise, bbq area and a giant snake and ladders game. Great location too- very close to the shops at Bentleigh.

Nice playground for the kids, toddlers & early primary school aged kids. Big open space, backs onto a big oval and no fencing. Not ideal for younger children, but good for older kids who want to kick the footy/soccer etc

Good local park, lots of facilities such as playground, outdoor gym equipment, gazebos, barbecues, public toilets and dog on and off lease areas. The paths are lit at night too which makes it feel safer.

Glen eira xmas carols child and dog frenindly ,more catering for little kids and young familys 2-7 yos ,would of been excellent if they had some fireworx afterwards..... Otherwise enjoyable

Good place a bit outside of Melbourne. Or actually quite a bit. Quite small actually but there is a skate park nearby . And in the night there are almost no lights in the place itself.

Great Park with so many facilities for tennis, cricket, dog owners, parents with young families and people exercising. Doubles for a venue for events also like Xmas carols

A really good bunch of dogs and owners, some keep to themselves and others are right into it. The pooch had a ball playing with similar dogs, he will sleep well tonight.

Nice little park next to Woolworths and obviously maintained well as workers there while I was walking around keeping place tidy. Has solemn tribute to fallen soldiers.

This reserve has good walkway and dog training facilities, but this reserve does not have proper play equipment and facilities for toddlers and young kids.

Great set up, you'd think dogs on leash on the oval only when there's a game on, not 24-7, maybe make sign a bit smarter as not to deter dog walkers

Good place to watch footy of cricket. During winter the footy club serves great food especially the freshly cooked burgers with the lot!

Nice park with kids if they're not afraid of dogs. Plenty to do to keep kids busy. Comfortable walking track around perimeter of oval.

Fantastic park for families to get together. Clean amenities. Dog friendly and rotundas available for larger groups. Worth visiting

Nice spacious well kept park with a footy oval, biking/walking tracks, off leash areas for dogs, playground for kids and toilets.

One of the better local grounds in the area with playgrounds, barbeque and a dog park separate to the sports grounds

Great dog park. Last time the local Primary school was using it as a play ground. Not the best with a young dog.

Terrific park with a lot of space for running around and separate playgrounds for younger and middle aged kids.

Mainly a dog walking / playing area with a playground for smaller kids and a clear moving area for bigger kids.

Very nice park for kids to play with lots of options to keep them busy. Nice stroll of walk around the park.

Always seems busy but the facilities are good for the kids and there is lots of room for dogs to run around.
