Paisley Park

Paisley Park is a dog walk in Altona North, VIC, where the route features soccer complex, playground, and youth recreation space with pump track and basketball half-court, surrounded by grassy areas and some indigenous vegetation.

The walk

Underfoot it is crushed rock, asphalt, grassy areas.

Lead rules

Hobsons Bay 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 Altona North for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing
