Dedicated Louden Street BMX jumps adding a local riding stop for California Gully.

City of Greater Bendigo lists California Gully BMX Jumps at 1-3 Louden Street, California Gully.

O'Keefe Rail Trail, Bendigo VIC 3550

Large fenced Strathdale dog park with walking track, shade, dams, creek bridges and multiple entry points.

The City of Greater Bendigo page places Harcourt Dog Park at 204 Crook Street, Strathdale, beside the Grassy Flat Creek Trail. It describes a 3.7-hectare fenced natural dog-exercise area with several public entry points, a bitumen walking track, four small dams, a creek with steel bridges and good shade trees. The page also carries the City-wide off-leash dog-park warning that greyhounds cannot be exercised off lead in designated off-leash areas. This adds a practical east Bendigo dog stop beyond the existing Allingham and Truscott fenced dog-park records, and is distinct from the broader Crook Street Park entry because dog access, fencing and off-leash rules are the main planning value.

204 Crook Street, Strathdale VIC 3550

The City of Greater Bendigo page lists McKern Skate Park at 16 Simpsons Road, Eaglehawk, and describes it as an international-class park for beginner and intermediate skaters.
