Figtree Off Leash Dog Area

Figtree Off Leash Dog Area is a large, open grassy field at Figtree Oval, 11 Princes Highway, Figtree, right next to the Community Hall. The single most important thing to know before you go: this is not a fully fenced or secured area. It is a casual, social off-leash space on a broad open field, and that open boundary is the deciding factor for whether it suits your dog.

The rules. Dogs must be under effective control at all times, even when off-leash. You are required to carry a leash and have it ready to use. Dogs are not permitted in the designated playground areas within the park. Waste bag use and removal are mandatory, so come prepared to clean up.

What is there. A large open green space for running, a dog drinking water station, and public seating and picnic tables around the field. A nearby creek offers a water option for dogs that like to get wet. The park sits adjacent to the Figtree Community Hall. Wheelchair accessible parking is available on-site.

Getting there. Directly off the Princes Highway (M1) at Figtree, with on-site parking. Bus routes run along the Princes Highway nearby for public transport access.

Watch-outs. Because the area is not fully fenced, the road boundary is a genuine hazard for dogs with poor recall. The field also shares space with joggers and walkers, so your dog needs to be comfortable with non-dog traffic mixing through the area.

When to go. Peak times are Sunday afternoons, Monday mornings, and Friday and Saturday evenings. For a quieter visit, aim for Sunday evenings, Monday evenings, Tuesday afternoons, or Wednesday mornings. A solid recall and reliable leash response make this a good fit for sociable, steady dogs, and a poor choice for flight risks.
