Albert Park Reserve Dog Off Leash Area - Aughtie Drive

Aughtie Drive, Albert Park VIC, 3206


Albert Park is a multi‐zone park for dogs. Dogs are permitted in most of the park, but must be kept on a lead in some areas and kept out of dog exclusion areas (including the lake and the playgrounds).

The majority of Albert Park is an on-lead area. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on the paths and grassed areas surrounding the lake, within picnic areas and within the dog on lead zone.

There are two off lead zones within Albert Park. One of these areas is the area to the west of Aughtie Drive (near the sports fields). When dogs are in this off-lead zone, a lead must be carried to bring the dog under immediate control if necessary. This area is only an off- lead when not being used for sporting activities or events.

Map of Off-Leash Area

The off-leash area is shown in yellow.


There are huge grassy areas between all the myriad of sports fields. It's possible to use the sports fields when sport is not being played on them. There's not a lot of trees in this area for shade. There are some bins e.g. near Clark Shields pavilion but water taps and bins are quite hard to find. The off-leash area stops just before you reach the Aughtie Drive Adventure playground.

There is ticketed parking in the area.
