A series that will not only introduce you to some of the dog parks around the mornington peninsula but we will also be sharing some fun facts and information about a different breed of dog for every cache in the series! Although they are numbered they don't have to be done in order. We have also got our resident expert, Ebony (Gnome5580s geodog!) Who will be giving each dog park a score of 1 to 5 paws depending on how much she approves of this park! 🐶 we hope you enjoy this series as much as Ebony had testing each of these parks out 😉 and on that note here is her opinion of this park:
TRUEMANS ROAD RECREATION RESERVE
This oval is a favorite place for many dog owners to come and let their dogs have a run, it's a nice large open space with plenty of places to park. Unfortunately the off leash area is not fenced so good recall is a must! It is definitely a good choice if you have dogs that like to chase a ball or frisbee and there is plenty of seating, parking, shade and drinking water nearby. This oval is also a large sporting and recreation hub with several ovals for cricket, football, baseball, etc as well as courts for basketball, netball, etc, practice nets and skate ramp. So while this is all great for doing any of these various sports it's not so good for getting a quiet moment to let the geodog run free! So because of this and the lack of fencing Ebony only gives this park 3 paws out of 5 paws.
we have decided on a slightly less common breed for this one:
SCHNAUZER
The Schnauzer or Standard Schnauzer is a dog breed that originated in Germany in at least 14th–15th century, of Schnauzer breed type and progenitor of the Giant Schnauzer and Miniature Schnauzer. Initially it was called Wire-Haired Pinscher, while Schnauzer was adopted in 1879. Generally classified as a working or utility dog, this versatile breed is robust, squarely built, medium-sized dog with aristocratic bearing.
Hypoallergenic: Yes
Lifespan: 13 – 16 years
Temperament: Good-natured, Devoted, Intelligent, Lively, Playful, Trainable
Height: Male: 47–50 cm, Female: 44–47 cm
Weight: Male: 14–20 kg, Female: 14–20 kg
Colours: Black, Salt & Pepper
THE CACHE:
you are looking for a mini bison hidden in a common way, this area can get VERY busy especially on weekends or after school when various sports are being played on the ovals. GZ is slightly out of the way but from some angles can be very exposed although parking right in front of GZ could give you a bit of cover but stealth will definitely be required! Please put the cache back exactly as found and make sure it is not visible to passing muggles! Happy hunting! 🤠
