Bannockburn Township Dog Off Leash Area is a dog walk in Bannockburn, VIC, where the route has designated off-leash areas where dogs can roam freely, though some small areas require dogs to be on lead. Owners must maintain effective control of their dogs when off-leash.

The walk

Underfoot it is varied, likely grass and compacted earth.

Lead rules

Golden Plains Shire Council manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Bannockburn for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
