Pet policy
Dogs on lead on the gravel loop around the reserve and ovals (City of Greater Bendigo).
A gravel path circles the Goornong Recreation Reserve on Bagshot Street, making an easy country-town loop past the sports ovals and the community playground. Dogs come along on lead.
The walk
The track is flat gravel all the way round, so it is easy going for most dogs and their people. You get open views across the ovals, with the playspace along the way.
Lead rules
The reserve is run by the City of Greater Bendigo. Keep your dog on lead on the track, and follow any signs at the ovals and playground.
Max: Match days bring crowds and loose footballs. Keep the lead short when the ovals are busy.
When to go
Mornings and evenings are cooler in summer, and quieter when there is no sport on. Bring water for the dog, and it suits older dogs who like a steady, flat walk.
