Glen Street Reserve Dog Off Leash Area

Glen Street Reserve is a sporting oval in Aspendale that opens to off-leash dogs in the evenings only. It is a flat, open grassed space with room to run, ringed by an open-frame fence rather than a secure enclosure. The evening-only window is the fact that decides whether you can go.

The rules. Off-leash access is limited to 5pm to 10pm. Outside those hours, and any time organised sport is on regardless of the hour, dogs are not permitted off-leash. Keep effective voice or hand control, and bring your dog under control within 20 metres of playgrounds or occupied picnic areas. Carry a lead at all times. City of Kingston rangers patrol the reserves and fines apply.

What's there. A car park on the northern side by the pavilion plus street parking on Glen Street, and waste bins near the south-west corner and the northern pavilion. The oval is fenced but open-frame, so it is not escape-proof. Bring your own water for the dog.

When to go. The oval fills right after the 5pm opening on fine evenings. Mid-week evenings, or earlier in winter, are quieter. If cricket or football training has the ground, the fenced Iluka Reserve or the beach are nearby fallbacks. Good for active dogs that need a proper run after work.
