Malvern Cricket Ground Dog Off Leash Area

1253 High St, Malvern, VIC

4.5(25 reviews)

The Malvern Cricket Ground Dog Off Leash Area is a sprawling, multi-use recreational space located in Malvern, Australia. The park is characterized by its vast, well-manicured grass fields, which serve as both a sporting venue for cricket and lacrosse and a popular off-leash zone for dogs. The area is partially enclosed by black chain-link fencing, providing a degree of containment, though it is not a fully fenced-in dedicated dog run. Visitors can find basic amenities such as wooden benches for resting and trash cans for waste. While the main field is open and sunny, large mature trees along the perimeter offer patches of shade. The atmosphere is vibrant and communal, often shared by athletes and pet owners alike. The ground is predominantly flat, making it an excellent spot for dogs to run and play. Nearby, the picturesque Malvern Gardens adds to the park's charm with its historic fountain and lush greenery, though the off-leash activity is centered on the cricket oval itself.

A big area of grass for walking dogs, jogging, playing football or other sports when there is no event. Watch out for dogs’ poo.

It’s not cool that there is a minority of dog owners who don’t clean up after their pets.

This is a really great place for dogs in the community to get exercise. There is a drink fountain, bags and bins for the dogs. The area is also well fenced and close to shops.
