Fawkner Park Off-Leash Area
South Yarra VIC 3141, South Yarra, VIC
Fawkner Park Off-Leash Area is a sprawling, multi-use urban park in Melbourne, Australia, characterized by its vast, well-manicured green lawns and mature, shady trees. The park features a mix of open spaces, including large sports ovals and dedicated off-leash zones, providing ample room for dogs to run and play. The ground surface is predominantly high-quality grass, complemented by a network of paved asphalt paths for walking and cycling. Facilities include water fountains, picnic tables, and benches scattered throughout the grounds. While some sports areas are enclosed by chain-link fencing, much of the park remains open, blending seamlessly with the surrounding urban landscape. The atmosphere is peaceful and communal, with a backdrop of city high-rises. Mature trees, including large figs and elms, offer significant natural shade. The park's size and variety of terrains, from flat fields to gentle slopes, make it a popular destination for dog owners and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

5 reviewsDog meet up happens every weekday, usually an hour before sunset so in the winter 4:30 is the time to arrive!
Excellent grassy spaces with trees and shrubs along the perimeter for dogs who like sniffing. We met Nera, 1, a cavoodle girl who liked playing ball; Maverick, a 5 months old Cavalier Blenheim boy, who got bitten by a bug earlier in the week and Alfie, a cavoodle boy.
Rated 5 stars
Was good, off leash area . wish there was more dogs since we visited from Sydney !
Beautiful place to walk the dog. So much space to let them run free.
