HEATHERTON PARK DOG OFF LEASH AREA

1 Ireland Rd, Clayton South VIC 3169, Australia

Located at 1 Ireland Rd, Clayton South VIC 3169, Australia, this official dog park offers an open space predominantly covered in grass, making it a great option for dogs who love to roam and play freely. While there are several benches for resting on the edges, the park lacks essential amenities such as drinking taps for dogs, trash bins for waste disposal, and agility obstacles, which could enhance your dog's play experience. Keep in mind that the park can become muddy during wet weather, and many users have noted that their dogs find muddy puddles irresistible, which might not be ideal for all owners. User reviews highlight that the park is often empty, providing a quiet environment for your dog to explore. However, some concerns have been raised regarding dog behavior, as there have been instances of untrained or aggressive dogs. Also, while the park is designed for off-leash use, there are no dedicated pathways, so visitors often find themselves walking directly on the grass. If you're looking for a spacious, off-lead area for your dog, just be prepared to bring your own waste bags and keep an eye on your pet’s interactions with others. Overall, it’s a pretty basic yet enjoyable space for dogs to run and play, especially if you prefer a low-key outing.

This is great if you want an open field, with nobody else around. The downfalls are that it is muddy during wet times of the year and muddy puddles in a few spots. And my dog loves stinky muddy puddles, but I do not. Also there are no drinking taps for the doggies in the off leash area

Most of the time the reserve is empty. I found a lot of 💩 left everywhere and cut grass left on top of cutted grass. My dog was already attacked by 2 dogs in this reserve because the owners didn't know how to recall their dog. It's a reserve off leash in the grass, but the dig has to be trained and not aggressive. No bag and no bin around the reserve, just 2 near the bbq and toilet.

No agility obstacles for dogs, no bags, cut grass always left on the ground.

The central section of the park is off lead, technically the paths do not go though the off lead so you have to walk on the grass but no one seems to care. There really is no other use for this park that I can see so it seems most people treat the whole park as off lead. There is a weird playground on the far edge of the park which is quite out of the way and obviously an on lead area. My main gripe with this park is there are NO BINS! I carried my dogs shit around for agessss, the only bin I could find was in the playground area. All around though this is basically just an open hilly paddock with the occasional spot of trees. A couple of Benches on the edge of the off lead area to sit on, no shelter. I enjoyed it tho, as did my dog
