    Dog Walking at Albert Park

    Albert Park

    With over 226 hectares, Albert Park offers plenty of space for you to walk, play and relax with your dog.
    Albert Park is mainly an on-lead park but there are some designated off-lead areas where you can give your dog a good run. Dogs are permitted in most of the park, but must be kept on a lead in some areas and kept out of dog exclusion areas (including the lake and the playgrounds).
