East Ringwood Reserve Dog Off Leash Area
22 Mines Rd, Ringwood East, VIC
East Ringwood Reserve Dog Off Leash Area, specifically around Fred Hodgkins Oval, offers a diverse and expansive environment for dogs and their owners. The park features a combination of large, open grassy fields perfect for long-distance fetching and more structured, fenced-in zones. One specific area is enclosed with black chain-link fencing and includes a concrete walking path, mulch surfaces, large rocks, and a tunnel for agility play. The reserve is characterized by its natural beauty, with numerous mature trees providing significant shade throughout the day. A well-maintained gravel and dirt path winds through the park, making it accessible for walkers. While the main ovals are used for sports like soccer, the surrounding areas provide ample space for off-leash exercise. Facilities include park benches for resting and tall floodlights for evening visibility. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and spacious, blending recreational sports facilities with dedicated canine exercise areas. The terrain varies from flat playing fields to gentle slopes bordered by dense bushland, offering a variety of sensory experiences for visiting dogs.

5 reviewsBeautiful off-road dog area but a real shame that all the sporting clubs now take the dog park as well as there .... They already have their own sporting oval as well, why take two ovals???
TOP OVAL IS NOT OFF LEAD AT ANYTIME ref Maroondah Council Parks guidelines https://www.maroondah.vic.gov.au/Explore/Parks-and-playgrounds/Parks-and-Facilities/East-Ringwood-Reserve
Eastern Oval is a good space but it Needs to be fenced to be secure for dogs off lead
Rated 4 stars
Great off lead dog area with two ovals, one is fenced. Both ovals a decent size.
