Extra Information / Off Leash Walk Sheet Download:
Koonung Creek Reserve has great walking and cycling trails – please ensure that off leash dogs are kept away from cyclists using the trails.
When using an off leash dog park it is important that you still have voice control over your dog and in the event that you need to call him/her back that they listen and obey your commands.
When using off leash dog parks remember that not everyone has well trained and socialized dogs. Consider talking to other dog owners in the park before allowing dogs to play together.
Remember to take plenty of fresh water for your dogs as they will be thirsty after all that running around.
