Willmott Drive Derrimut Road D1 Drainage Reserve on Willmott Drive in Hoppers Crossing is a smaller section of the drainage reserve network. Like its larger counterpart, it has strict restrictions during school hours and offers zero amenities, with the added risk of being near the 80km/h Derrimut Road.
Willmott Drive Reserve: At a Glance
- ⚠️ The Vibe: Risky utility. It feels like a leftover space next to a fast road.

Dog Park Features & Amenities
For the Dogs

For the Humans
- Zero Amenities: No seats, no bins, no toilets.

Insider Tip: Unless you live right here, don’t stop. Go to the main D1 Drainage Reserve section further away from the highway, or find a fenced park. The risk/reward ratio here isn’t great.
