JC Donath Reserve Dog Off Leash Area

31 Harmer Street, Reservoir VIC, 3073


The reserve is massive with eight sports grounds, Keon Park tennis courts, three pavilions, skate park and playground split by Wagga Road.

The east pavilion near ground 8 has locked toilets. The ovals to the east of Wagga Road do not have any fences and around the ovals there is only a thin strip of grassy area with a few trees.

It is nicer for dogs in the western section of the reserve. When you reach the tennis courts look out for a tree located about 30m south of the courts which has a concrete bowl in the ground which people fill with water. This attracts birds such as rainbow lorikeets as well as thirsty dogs. To the south of the tennis courts is a fenced oval and to the west are unfenced ovals with trees dotted around the edges. There is a skate park, tennis wall and netball / basketball court at the western end which has a water tap with dog bowl together with a pavilion which has rubbish bins. South of the fenced oval is a pavilion with toilets and a bin.
