Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 11 October 2026.

Five outdoor spots in Bundoora are on this page: Loyola Reserve, Mount Cooper Reserve, Gresswell Grange Reserve, Yulong Reserve and Hibiscus Park. Each has its own council page.

We checked every one against OpenStreetMap and the council page that names it. We have not printed hours or facility lists, so use the council page to plan the visit.

Loyola Reserve — 41 Gleeson Drive, Bundoora VIC 3083

Banyule Council’s parks and reserves page names Loyola Reserve and gives its location as 41 Gleeson Drive, Bundoora 3083. OpenStreetMap carries the same name. We copied no price or facility list for it, so the council page is the place to check what is there.

Get there: put 41 Gleeson Drive into the PTV journey planner or your map app.

Mount Cooper Reserve — 1a Shoalhaven Street, Bundoora VIC 3083

Darebin Council’s parks and playgrounds directory lists Mount Cooper Reserve at 1a Shoalhaven Street, Bundoora 3083. OpenStreetMap agrees on the name. We copied no price for it.

Plan it: read the Darebin directory entry first, then set 1a Shoalhaven Street in your map app.

Gresswell Grange Reserve — 1 Gumnut Rise, Bundoora VIC 3083

Darebin Council’s directory also lists Gresswell Grange Reserve, at 1 Gumnut Rise, Bundoora 3083. OpenStreetMap carries the same name. We copied no price or facility detail for it.

Get there: use 1 Gumnut Rise as your destination, and check the Darebin page for the reserve before you leave.

Yulong Reserve — 60 Bent Street, Bundoora VIC 3083

Banyule Council’s parks and reserves page names Yulong Reserve and gives its location as 60 Bent Street, Bundoora 3083. OpenStreetMap agrees on the name. We copied no price for it.

Plan it: Banyule lists Yulong Reserve alongside Loyola Reserve, so one council site covers both.

Hibiscus Park — 2W Carbeen Drive, Bundoora VIC 3083

Whittlesea Council’s local parks and reserves pages name Hibiscus Park and give its location as 2W Carbeen Drive, Bundoora 3083. OpenStreetMap agrees on the name. We copied no price or facility detail for it.

Rain backup: this page has none to offer for Hibiscus Park, so read the Whittlesea page to see what is on site.
