Westerfield Drive Reserve

Westerfield Drive Reserve is a small City of Monash park in Notting Hill, best known for its playspace. It is a handy spot for a short on-lead stroll rather than a long walk.

What's here

Compacted gravel and concrete paths wind around the reserve past local plantings, colourful community murals and sensory play pieces, including musical instruments.

Lead rules

The reserve is not marked on the City of Monash off-leash map, so dogs need to stay on lead, especially around the playground.

Max: The musical instruments can startle a nervous dog. Give them a wide berth if yours is unsure.

Pair it with

For an off-lead run, head to the Janice Road Reserve Dog Off Leash Area, then stop at Four Point Grind.

Quieter school-hours visits suit calm dogs. Bring water for the dog.
