Off-lead parks and reserves

Dog owner's responsibilities

Stonnington parks and reserves are used by many people for different purposes, so it is important that dog owners comply with regulations. When exercising your dog, please ensure you:

• pick up after your dog. Bags and bins are supplied at designated areas
• keep your dog on-lead at all times unless in a designated off-lead area
• keep your dog off garden beds, playgrounds, and during designated times on ovals and sports grounds for sporting events, training and other community activities.
• carry a lead and ensure your dog remains under control and non-threatening at all times.

Failure to do so may result in a fine.
