Dog exercise areas

You will find several approved off-leash dog exercise areas around the City of Belmont.
As these are shared spaces, we all need to be courteous when it comes to the safe use of our reserves. 

The approved dog exercise areas are not for the exclusive use of dogs. Many parks and reserves are shared with sporting clubs, so it is important to be respectful of other park users while exercising your dog off-leash. 
 
So we can keep our shared spaces safe and enjoyable for both humans and dogs, please make sure:

• Dogs are kept at least 5 metres from children’s playgrounds.
• Dogs are kept at least 5 metres from playing fields being used for organised sport or events.
• Dogs are on-leash in any carpark.
• Your dog must be able to be controlled by you at all times either by leash or verbal commands, and must be prevented from rushing up to other people and dogs.

Places to exercise your dog

When in a public place or park such as Garvey Park and Tomato Lake, your dog must be kept on a leash and under control at all times.
