Set on a sprawling three-and-a-half hectares, EE Gunn Reserve has great open spaces and amenities for fun in the sun. Whether you want to play or stay in shape, the reserve offers well maintained green space, large playground, outdoor fitness equipment, shared path and a picnic shelter perfect for those warm summer days. Part of the Rosstown Rail trail connecting Elsternwick to Oakleigh, EE Gun Reserve is a great mid-way stopping point. EE Gun was officially open to the public as a reserve in the 1920’s and in 1964 it was renamed after Councillor Ernest Edwin Gunn, a member of the former Caulfield City Council from 1949–1975 and Mayor from 1952–1953.
