Newhaven Fenced Dog Park

Newhaven Fenced Dog Park is a small, purpose-built off-leash park inside the Newhaven residential estate in Tarneit, between Holstein Crescent and Keewong Road. It is a recent addition to the estate, giving local dogs a secure fenced space to run without a lead.

The rules. The fenced area itself is off-leash, but dogs need to be on a lead everywhere else in the estate. Close the gate behind you, keep your dog in sight and under control, and bring bags to clean up after them.

What's there. Expect a fully fenced enclosure, some agility equipment, a water fountain with a dog bowl, and a bit of seating for owners. Navigation Park nearby has a playground, lookout tower and basketball court if you want to extend the outing for the rest of the family.

Getting there. The park sits in the northern part of the Newhaven estate, reached via Tarneit Road and Hummingbird Boulevard. Street parking is available on the surrounding residential streets. Tarneit railway station is the nearest train hub, but it is a bus ride or drive rather than a walk, so confirm current routes before relying on public transport.

Nearby with the dogs. Little Growling Cafe on Davis Rd is a popular dog-friendly stop with outdoor seating. Pet-friendly stays right in Tarneit are limited, options like Quest Werribee are a reasonable drive away if you need overnight accommodation.

As a small estate park, it is likely quietest on weekday mornings and early afternoons, and busier around the usual before and after work walk times. Being fully open with little shade, an early or evening visit will be more comfortable in summer heat.
