We have partnered with local government to invest $7.5 million into 31 off-leash dog parks across Victoria.

Off-leash dog parks provide custom-designed spaces where Victorians and their pet dogs can exercise and socialise.

These purpose-built parks include:

  • designated ball play areas
  • fencing
  • agility equipment
  • nature play elements
  • seating and drinking fountains.

With more than one in 3 Victorians owning a dog, we realise the value of having an open space close to where we live that is fit for purpose. These new dog parks will deliver that to communities across Victoria.
