Known forlocal favouriterunning trackcommunity parkCarlton
A beloved local oval and parkland that wraps around the Carlton Football Club's training ground, with a popular 3.2km perimeter walking and running track. It's a genuine neighbourhood hub where locals jog, walk dogs, and kick footballs without much tourist traffic. The facilities are functional rather than fancy, and parking can be tight on weekday mornings.
