Reviews
Wendy Gaylord
★★★★★“Very grateful for this truly off lead part. Double gates, poo bags, water fountains for people and pouches, good sitting options and parking. There are far too many parks that should not be designated as off lead due to no truly closed fencing but this was is the real deal.”
Mohiyadeen Ismail
★★★★★“A place for your dogs, plenty of space and most dogs are friendly and minds their own business.”

★★★★★“Ample parking, there's a nice dog park and two grounds. I've noticed the toilets are closed though, the sports complex is around the corner.”

★★★★☆“We love taking our dog here. The secure, fully fenced area provides piece of mind so our dog can run off lead. It is not a very large area and can get quite busy at peak times. Now we just need more like this in the area as Boroondara is lacking in this area compared to other local council areas.”
John Cassar
★★★★★“Excellent knowledge. Took the time to walk us through all the options.... highly recommended..”
