👍 Gorgeous off leash park with a lot of space to run around. There are always lots of furry friend to play with, especially in the fenced in dog park. My toy spoodle ozzie has a blast and has met many friendly dogs! I will say I wish the fenced in dog park had more grass - if it rained the day prior,...

    Gorgeous off leash park with a lot of space to run around. There are always lots of furry friend to play with, especially in the fenced in dog park. My toy spoodle ozzie has a blast and has met many friendly dogs! I will say I wish the fenced in dog park had more grass - if it rained the day prior, your dog is almost guaranteed to get super muddy the next day! That being said, so long as you’re willing to commit to a bath, the dogs love it (see pics of my dog Ozzie below)!

    5 stars is from our dogs. They love this place. Not the enclosed bit where owners take their dogs, but the park bit where dogs take their owners.

    Well-manicured park. Nice for a stroll. Note that the eastern end is currently fenced off with works to create (what appears to be) as new play zone.

    Two table tennis tables for the enthusiast. Great on a uncharacteristically still Melbourne day.

    They fixed the playground which needed to happen before the year 2000 ... Then forgot that little kids (let's go with under 3) also would like to play ... Except letting a little child on what's there now could end up with some inherent risk associated issues. Much better than what it was and they even made it a nice play for parents to watch over their kids or stare at their phones ... Whatever is more important at the time.

    Gilpin park is all Australian native trees and had lovely rolling swaels in the landscape. Plenty of native birds and locals walking their dogs. Some BBQ areas by the kids play equipment with benches. A love spot for a suburb light on parks.

    Nice simple park with some playground equipment, tables (even some ping pong tables), and a dog park.

  • 5/5 Jeannette B. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a Good park. They have a big area where the dogs can be off their leads. There is a fenced n gated area to throw the ball and the doggies get sociable, a water fountain for them and humans. Plenty of trees, shade, garbage bins ,bags, and doggy smells for them.. ??⭐

    Good spot for off lead and enclosed dog park, they have added toilets.

  • 5/5 Mark L. 6 months ago on Google • 72 reviews
    Two Fenced Off-leash areas for big dogs and small dogs. The park has plenty of off-street parking (perimeter of the park). Abundance of large trees that provide sufficient shade as well.

  • 3/5 Simon C. 3 months ago on Google • 33 reviews New
    The kids enjoyed the park. The toilets were not well maintained and the sharps containers had syringes hanging out of the sharps containers.

  • 5/5 Eugenie L. 4 years ago on Google • 30 reviews
    Just been to the park for the first time with my dog. Everyone was super friendly and chilled, pretty quiet as well. Really lovely Australian bush feel as well. Loved that they have a special enclosed space for nervous, old, or little dogs!

  • 5/5 Nick P. 5 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    really great doggy park...best part is the recent introduction of the coffee on Albert st - best coffee in Melbourne!

  • 4/5 Emmelina F. 8 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Good playground, BBQ and covered space for eating. Great paths for the kids to ride around on. The toilets were absolutely unusable the day we were there - so gross - but we might have been unlucky on the day.

    This is a great park for dogs! There aren't many fenced dog parks in Melbourne so it's great to have this. Unfortunately it is very dusty though so it really only alternates between a dustbowl when it's dry and a muddy swamp when it rains. I'm not sure what the solution is but some better ground covering (grass, fake grass, or something else) would increase my rating to 5 stars 🙂

  • 4/5 Mervyn R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park, often used by dog-walkers. Fun watching the dogs in the fenced-in off-lead areas. 🐶 🐕 🐶

  • 4/5 Tahsina Tuba S. 2 years ago on Google
    It mainly for dogs.

  • 5/5 Cheryl B. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoy walking in this park but I don't like the graffiti on the park benches.

  • 4/5 feza g. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Hello, a beautiful park. Only stagnant puddles smell and slime has formed. It needs to be cleaned and filled with gold. It becomes healthier (Original) Merhaba çok güzel bir park. Yalnız durgun su birikintileri koku yapıyor ve balçık oluşmuş. Temizlenip altının doldurulması gerek. Daha sağlıklı olur

  • 4/5 Henry B. 2 years ago on Google
    People need to realise its a shared path not a pedestrian/dog path!

  • 5/5 Arnab S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing park! Biggest off leash area for dogs I can find in inner Melbourne and a separate enclosed dog park.

  • 5/5 Ross M. 2 years ago on Google
    Off leash dogs park both enclosed and also roaming free around it! Large park with shady spots to relax in the sun! Playgrounds and connection to sporting facilities! This is a great central park with something for everyone.

  • 4/5 Peter G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pup friendly space. Seperate areas for big and small dogs. Also a good sized Park outside the fences for getting used to walking the dog off leash. Complimentary dodo bags and bins to use.

  • 4/5 Frederick F. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to walk, too many dogs around chasing people though

  • 5/5 Bill M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great off leash space for dogs. Running tracks and plenty of open space.

  • 5/5 Meow 2 years ago on Google
    It is so wonderful to have an off lead park that is so open! There are also small dog and bigger dog fenced off dog areas. My favourite walk with the dogs! There's a little coffee cart there on weekends (not sure about weekdays).

  • 5/5 Ushani A. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely dog park in Brunswick. You can walk your dog on leash or off-leash in fenced play regions. An ideal place for pooches to socialize and exercise.

  • 5/5 Sean O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great big park. Enclosed dog area, nice walking track, kids playground, toilets and open grass area

  • 3/5 Duds M. 3 years ago on Google
    Dirt bowl

  • 5/5 Orders Urban S. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome park for running and taking dogs. Approx 800m to run/walk a lap - flat topography. Two fenced off-lead dog areas. Children playground at opposite end of dog area. A very well designed multi-purpose park.

  • 5/5 J F. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for a walk especially if you are a dog lover 😊

  • 5/5 Doom W. 5 years ago on Google
    Updated dog park here is great. Fully enclosed, dual gate, bins and bags. New favourite dog park because our dog is a silly that can't go off lead outside enclosed areas.

  • 5/5 pandu a. 1 year ago on Google
    Good park for barbeque, play with kids or just hang around with friends

  • 5/5 Jack M. 4 years ago on Google
    Large open-spaced park with an excellent secured dog off-leash area. The park is really popular with dog owners of all shapes and sizes and a nice walk through the paths with a small playground for the kids.

  • 4/5 Shari R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great fenced area for the doggies. The only drawback is that due to the high volume of doggy traffic there is no grass which can make it either a dust or mud bowl.

  • 5/5 Paul C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great new fenced dog park, friendly people nice place for dogs to run around and play with other dogs well done Brunswick council ??

  • 4/5 Mark A. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice dog friendly park. Good for a walk around or to relax in. Playground and seating along the way. Close to some other big parkland as well.

  • 4/5 Jon H. 9 months ago on Google
    Lots of dogs roaming, it's a nice enough park with a good climbing frame

  • 3/5 Bonnie H. 4 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Dusty park with a little grass surrounded by infill housing. The best part is that it has a fenced dog park...even more dusty but safe. Not a lot of shade in the dog park when it's hot. Better than nothing for locals to get some green space. 3/5

  • 4/5 Grant K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice park... Can get busy, and the dog park is a mudfest after a bit of rain.

  • 5/5 Cameron M. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent park to take the dog! The fenced off area is full of attentive, friendly owners unlike other fenced off dog owners that people seem to treat like a doggy daycare. Three rest of the park is also fantastic if you're not worried about your dog running off in to the road or something. Lovely locals!

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great for pooches and jogging!!

  • 4/5 Kapital 3 years ago on Google
    It is good that it has a fenced off dog area. However it isnt very lush and could really use some grass. Other than that it's okay.

  • 5/5 Annie G. 4 years ago on Google
    Stayed with friends when I visited Melbourne and I kept walking to this park because...dogs. There is an entire enclosed area for them to be off-leash and another enclosure for the more 'fragile' dogs. Beyond that, it has easy, flat paths all throughout the park with a sizeable kids play area too.

  • 5/5 C A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jasmin S. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love it!! A massive area for dogs to run and play off their leads, it's fantastic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of people take their dogs to this awesome park, and I'm pretty sure that there's even a smaller fenced off area inside the park, possibly for the doggos who like to be naughty and roam around. I don't even own a dog but I go there!! And honestly, it's genuinely a mood enhancing atmosphere, with everyone spending time with their respective pooches and you'll find most people here are friendly. ? 100% RECOMMENDED!! (PLEASE CHECK OTHER REVIEWS OR TAKE A LOOK WITH REGARDS TO KIDS, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'S A PLAY AREA SOMEWHERE!! )
