Manor lakes dog park

Manor Lakes Dog Park is a fenced, off-leash park on Manor Lakes Boulevard that opened in late 2024, with proper agility gear rather than just an open paddock.

The rules. Dogs must be registered with council and wearing tags, and leashed on the way in and out through the double gates. Off-leash inside the fence, dogs still need to be under effective voice control and recallable. Pick up and bin all waste, and keep dogs restrained around others if needed.

What's there. A tunnel, adjustable jumping hurdle and A-frame for agility, benches and shaded seating for owners, and dog bag dispensers and bins. There's a drinking fountain but it's reported as unreliable, so bring your own water.

Getting there. On Manor Lakes Boulevard itself, with street parking or a dedicated car park nearby. Wyndham Vale Railway Station is a relative short distance away if you're coming by V/Line. Surrounding residential paths and the Lollipop Creek walking tracks connect in on foot.

Nearby with the dogs. Good Manors Cafe sits right next door for a coffee before or after, and Wyndham Vale shops are close by for takeaway options.

When to go. Weekends get busy thanks to the adjacent playground, especially Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Monday mornings and evenings, or weekday mid-afternoons, are the quiet windows. Flies can be an issue in warmer months.
