Aldershot Reserve Dog Park

Aldershot Reserve Dog Park is a fully fenced off-leash dog park on Aldershot Rd in St Albans Park, a short drive from central Geelong. Its standout feature is the split design: separate active and passive zones let high-energy and low-energy dogs each have appropriate space.

The rules. Dogs may run off-leash only inside the designated fenced areas. The wider 650m circuit path is part of the broader reserve, so leash up before leaving the enclosure. As with all City of Greater Geelong parks, owners must pick up waste and keep dogs under effective control.

What's there. Beyond the two fenced dog zones, the reserve includes a shelter, BBQ and playground, plus a basketball half-court and a concrete circuit path suited to walking, running or cycling. Free street parking is typically available along Aldershot Rd, and local bus lines stop on nearby main roads within walking distance.

Sunday mornings draw the biggest crowds and can reach capacity. For a quieter visit, aim for Monday to Thursday evenings, Friday mornings, or a mid-morning weekday slot. Good for neighbourhood locals and owners who want a solid fenced run without travelling far.
