Montario Quarter Hillside Park Fenced Dog Park

Montario Quarter Hillside Park Fenced Dog Park is a fully fenced, 24/7 off-leash dog park in Daglish, within 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 rules. Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting through the double-gated air-lock entries, then can run off-leash inside the enclosures. Cleanup is mandatory, with waste stations supplying bags and bins on site. Owners must stay in the park, keep their dog in sight at all times, and remove any aggressive dog immediately.

What's there. Both the large-dog and small-dog enclosures are bounded by high secure fencing. The park includes basic agility equipment, benches for owners, and ample shade from mature retained trees across a rehabilitated native bushland setting with a walkway through trees. A water fountain or station is installed but reported as unreliable, so bring your own water and a bowl for your dog.

Getting there. The park sits on Ellis Griffiths Avenue within the Montario Quarter estate, Daglish. Arrive by car via Underwood Avenue or Troy Terrace, with street parking available along Ellis Griffiths Avenue. Daglish Train Station on the Fremantle Line is within walking distance for public transport users.

Nearby with the dogs. For a post-walk coffee or meal, Yours Truly in neighbouring Subiaco and Bishop Street Cafe in Jolimont are both short drives away. Wards Central Dining in Shenton Park is another nearby dog-friendly option. If you want a change of scene for off-leash exercise, Lake Monger Dog Park in Wembley is a few minutes north.

The park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Based on reported popularity data, expect busier periods on weekday mornings and evenings, particularly Monday and Friday, and Saturday afternoons. Sunday mornings and weekday afternoons tend to be quieter. The separate small-dog yard makes the park especially suited to little or nervous dogs that do better in their own space away from larger, rougher play.
