Montario Quarter Hillside Park Fenced Dog Park

Montario Quarter Hillside Park Fenced Dog Park is a fully fenced, 24/7 off-leash park in Daglish, in Perth's inner-west. Its defining feature is a secure layout with separate, fully enclosed areas for large and small dogs, giving owners a controlled environment for exercise and socialisation.

The dog setup

Dogs stay leashed through the double-gated air-lock entries, then run free inside the enclosures. Both the large-dog and small-dog areas are bounded by high secure fencing, and you should use the zone that matches your dog's size and play style. Cleanup is mandatory, with waste stations supplying bags and bins on site. Owners stay in the park, keep their dog in sight, and remove any dog that turns aggressive immediately.

The setting is a rehabilitated native bushland block with mature retained trees, a walkway through the trees and plenty of shade, plus basic agility equipment and benches for owners. One caution: a water fountain or station is installed but has been reported as unreliable, so bring your own water and a bowl rather than counting on it.

Max: Double-gate air-locks only work if one door is shut before the next opens. Wait for the person ahead to clear the entry before you push through with your dog.

The vibe

Being open around the clock, the park sees early-morning regulars before work and families after dinner, with the midday hours quietest. The bushland setting makes it feel calmer than its inner-city address suggests, and the size separation takes the gamble out of a visit for owners of small dogs.

Getting there and parking

The park sits on Ellis Griffiths Avenue within the Montario Quarter estate, cornered by Thorburn Way. Arrive by car via Underwood Avenue or Troy Terrace, with street parking along Ellis Griffiths Avenue. Daglish Station on the Fremantle line is within walking distance if you come by train.

Pair it with

For a post-walk coffee, Yours Truly in neighbouring Subiaco and the Bishop Street Cafe in Jolimont are both short drives away and welcome dogs at their outdoor tables.
