Just a short walk from Dennis train station lies Johnson Park, a favourite getaway location for Northcote locals. It may be small but it has plenty to offer.
The open and inviting space is home to many large and shady trees, as well as a collection of smaller shrubs and native plants which line the foot and bike paths. The grassy areas are perfect for lazing around on a weekend afternoon or for an impromptu game of cricket or footy. Dogs are allowed into the park but they must be kept on their leads.
The park also features playgrounds suited to both kids and teenagers with slides, swings, climbing frames and spider web obstacles.
For sunny days there are uncovered picnic tables scattered around the park but if the weather’s not on your side then you can grab a table under the rotunda.
