Dunns Road, Mount Martha, VIC 3934

We have lived in Dunns Road for many years. Access to public schools, private schools, an amazing Bentons Square shopping centre, throw in the beach less than 1km away, the biggest council dog park and a myriad of bike tracks, it really is a great family destination.

Suitable for young families and older parents with grandchildren.

Maybe not good if you are out walking on a Saturday night alone, but I think this is universal.

In the future, the Eastlink Peninsula extension will take place making transport to and from the city faster.

This is the main drag (literally) joining Craigie Road and Mornington Tyabb road. Unfortunately because it's long and straight the hoons think it's wonderful. New roundabouts and speed humps have helped this situation somewhat but you still hear them on a Saturday night...thankfully the local police know it's a hot spot so they often park a car behind the bushes!

The great thing about DUnns Road though is the parks. The newest one, between Craigie Road and Flora Road is great. There's really cool play equipment suitable for all ages, there's an undercover seating area and a very newly built toilet block. There is also a wonderful off-leash park for the dogs and some great equipment for the more intelligent breeds to show off their jumping skills. There's also a running track with some exercise stations that goes right the way around. As it's only relatively newly developed the trees are still small and there isn't much of a wind break.

At the other end of Dunns Road (near Mornington Tyabb) there is a civic centre, a beautiful rose garden looked after by volunteers, a gallery and another cool park. There is also a great skate park for the bigger kids. Watch out for the ducks and geese however - as soon as a car pulls up they come waddling over at a rapid rate expecting food!
