Parks · Fitzroy North
A 24-hectare park in Fitzroy North with open lawns, mature trees, a rotunda, a skate park and two sports ovals. About half the park is designated dog off-leash, and it is a popular social spot for local dog owners, especially on sunny evenings.
A large, council-designated off-leash park minutes from Brunswick Street cafes, good for a proper run.
Yarra City Council designates roughly half of the gardens as dog off-leash, but dogs are not allowed on one of the ovals and are only off-leash on unfenced sporting grounds when those grounds are not in use; they must be on a lead within 10 m of playgrounds and in-use sports areas. The off-leash zones are unfenced, so reliable recall is essential. Entry is free.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
