Toners Lane Dog Park

Toners Lane Dog Park is an off-lead space at Toners Lane Reserve in Morwell, identified in Latrobe City Council planning as a priority fenced dog park for the town. It gives local dogs a large open area to run and socialise, and the reserve setting keeps it low-key rather than a destination park.

The dog setup

Standard Latrobe City conditions apply: dogs registered and microchipped if over six months, under effective voice control even off lead, and cleaned up after, with fines for not carrying bags. Because fencing and gates have been rolled out in stages under the council's dog park implementation plan, confirm the current fenced status before you rely on it for an escape-prone dog.

What is there

The design brief includes secure perimeter fencing with double-entry safety gates, shade trees, bench seating and a nearby water connection. Bins and bags are typically provided, but bringing your own covers you either way.

Max: walk the fence line and check both gates latch before you drop the lead, especially if any works are still in progress.

The vibe

Expect locals rather than visitors: a working dog park that fills on weekday evenings after work and Sunday mornings. For a nervous dog, weekday mid-morning is the quiet window.

Getting there and parking

The reserve sits on Toners Lane, reached off the Princes Highway, with on-site parking and a connection to the local pedestrian path network so nearby residents can walk in. Bring water on warm days.

Pair it with

The Traralgon Dog Park is the comparison option in the next town east if you want a second fenced space. For coffee after, MugLife Espresso & Juice Bar and Jay Dee's Cafe are both in Morwell.
