Glenelg Drive Reserve Dog Off Leash Area

Glenelg Drive Reserve (Reserve 2D) in Maiden Gully is a designated off-leash area giving local dogs open grass to run and exercise. Dogs are permitted off-leash but must remain under effective voice control at all times.

The rules. Owners must pick up after their dogs and use the provided bins. Outside the designated off-leash boundary, dogs must be on a leash not exceeding 8 metres. Dogs with a history of aggression should be muzzled or kept leashed. Note that fencing may not fully enclose all sides, so check the perimeter if your dog tends to wander.

What is there. A large grassy area suitable for fetch and free running, with mature trees offering natural shade on sunny days. Curbside parking is available along Glenelg Drive, and the site is best reached by car. If you are heading into Bendigo afterwards, The Golden Bean is a cafe option about 10 to 15 minutes' drive away, and Irishtown Cottage offers pet-friendly accommodation in the same area.

When to go. Mid-morning or early afternoon on weekdays tends to be quieter. Weekday evenings after 5:00 PM and weekend mornings between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM are typically busier. Water stations are limited, so bring your own.
