Traralgon Dog Park

Traralgon Dog Park sits at 9 George Street, right in town, and gives you a fully fenced, off-leash space with double-gated entry. It is a single open run rather than separate small-dog and large-dog pens, so the deciding factor is whether your dog is happy mixing with all comers.

The rules. Stay inside the fence and supervise your dog the whole time. Dogs must be vaccinated and registered with the council. Any dog showing aggressive or territorial behaviour should be leashed and removed straight away. Bring your own bags and use the bins provided.

What's there. Fresh water bowls, bench seating for owners, and some shade, though the mulch surface (not grass) draws mixed reviews. On warmer days bring extra water and consider a portable shade, as cover is limited.

Getting there. Free parking sits right by the George Street entrance. If you are coming by train, Traralgon Station is a short on-leash walk away.

When to go. It fills up before work and again after business hours. For a reactive or easily overwhelmed dog, aim for the mid-morning or mid-afternoon lull when you'll often have the run to yourselves.
