Baxter Park Walking Tracks

Baxter Park Walking Tracks is a dog walk in Baxter, VIC, where Baxter Park features natural reserve with walking tracks, playfields, lake or river, and various sports areas, offering mix of natural bushland and recreational facilities.

The walk

Underfoot it is unpaved walking trails, asphalt, and concrete.

Lead rules

Frankston City 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 Baxter for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
