Small Off Lead Exercise Areas
Three new exercise runs were opened at KCC Park in August 2019.
This was made possible by the generous donation from the Whippet Association of Victoria.

These off lead areas are open to all members who visit the Park.

Large Off Lead Fenced Area

The larger fenced area to the south of the Park has for many years been used for lure coursing, followed by herding when that discipline commenced. Clubs representing these activities provided substantial funding, plus manpower, to fence the area, making it more suitable for their sports.

It wasn’t long before Dogs Victoria members decided that this space was ideal for safe off-leash exercise for their dogs. 

Please take note of the the following when using this area:-

1. If the ground is obviously being set up or used for either lure coursing or herding, the entire area is out of bounds for all other usage
2. If a member is already using the area at any other times, please wait until they leave before entering with your own dogs. However, please be considerate and give others a turn if they are waiting. We suggest 15 minutes is enough, you may be able to come back later after taking a pleasant lead walk around the rest of the Park and resume your free running.
3. Please read the conditions of use displayed near the entrances
4. Please pick up after your dogs, using bags and bins provided.

​

N.B.  Dogs Victoria affiliated clubs sometimes book the large-off lead area for events such as herding and lure coursing.  

Please contact the office to find out if the area will be available for your use on the weekend.  

These facilities are a great asset for Dogs Victoria members and we wish to ensure maximum usage, so care and share and set a good example for your dog/s!

A reminder that unless you are in designated, fenced off-lead areas or are participating in training or competition, your dog must be kept on a lead at all times at KCC Park.
