tiamariatrace Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I live in Dandenong, Melbourne and am looking at finding FENCED IN OFF LEASH Parks and Beaches for my 10 month old Irish Setter puppy who loves to run. I have been to Sandown Street, Brighton which is great but I am wondering if there are other beaches similar that may have a cafe also where you can enjoy a coffee and have your dog run on the beach and be safe. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyBlue Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Depends how far you are willing to drive. There is a small fully fenced off-lead area at Knox park (corner of Scoresby road and Ferntree gully road). Also where KODC trains - I only go down on a Sunday but it gets pretty busy. There is also another one at Aranga park Doncaster (near Springvale road Eastern fwy intersection) that is much bigger but might be a bit of a hike for you. Both these parks have a small amount of fixed agility equipment and water available. Aranga park doesn't have bags but does have bins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The only other fenced ones I know of are Clayton Reserve in North Melbourne (bit of a hike, and probably not worth it - it's only 5 or so km from me and I don't even go!) and JJ Holland park .. might have a fenced area. Most council webpages also have lists of off-leash parks too, and this site (off lead areas in Melbourne) has a list of off leash areas by council, but I'm not sure how up to date it is.

Beltar Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I am always on the lookout for a safe, fully fenced area to take my 3 Iggies for a play. I take them to KCC occasionally. I was so pleased to read your post a while back, RubyBlue, about the new park, Aranga Reserve in Donvale. Thankyou!! :D We have been there several times and the dogs love it. As well as the very large oval area, there is a lovely small dog area with trees and shrubs, which my dogs love exploring. I was so excited to find such a terrific secure area where they can run and chase at great speed and I can relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
