Seabrook Reserve Dog Off Leash Area

Seabrook Reserve's off-leash area is the fenced oval at the heart of this Broadmeadows sports reserve, on Seabrook Avenue. It is a straightforward, no-frills spot for a run and a fetch session rather than a destination park, so keep expectations set accordingly.

The rules. The oval is the designated off-leash zone, but it doubles as a bookable sports field, so it reverts to on-leash (or is unavailable) whenever a match or training session is on. Dogs must stay under effective voice control at all times, a maximum of two dogs per person applies, and you need to carry a leash and pick up after your dog.

What's there. The oval itself is fenced, which helps with recall anxiety, and there is a dedicated car park on the reserve's north side. Beyond that the amenities are thin: no shade structures, no dog-specific water points and limited seating, so bring your own water bowl and a hat for summer visits.

Getting there. It's on Seabrook Avenue off Broadmeadows Road, with local bus routes passing nearby and Broadmeadows railway station within a short trip if you're coming by train.

Mid-week mornings and early afternoons are quietest. Weekends and early evenings draw more of the local crowd, and it's worth checking the sports ground isn't booked before you drive over. Good for a quick, fenced leg-stretch rather than a long dog-park hangout.
