Raiden Reviews: Fawkner Park South Yarra, Victoria 3141

I can easily say Fawkner Park is one of my favourites with all the beautiful trees and lush grass. All of which are holding so many new smells and stories. Although, I guess I am slightly biased because I went there almost everyday when I was a puppy! A lot of other dogs went there every evening too so I made some really good friends like Gin the Sheltie, Ginger the Miniature Poodle, Sam the Rough Collie and Princeton a Whippet.

The park boasts a massive off leash area which is not fenced and the fringes of the park are on busy major roads. If off leash is not your thing you can definitely have a more than enjoyable walk along the tree lined paths with the grass to your left and right. The water fountain here does not have a built in dog bowl, but some kind dog loving humans have permanently left dog bowls near the fountain.

During daylight savings on weekdays between 4.30-7.30pm is when you will find the most dogs here. Weekends can be a bit hit and miss but there is usually a few dogs around. On weekends in the Summer cricket can occupy most of the off lead area until 6 or 7pm but the soccer field is still generally unused. It is such a beautiful park and it is easy to spend a couple of hours here with friends chewing on a stick, playing a game of chase, fetch or just chilling under a tree.

Great very large off leash area, lots of friendly dogs and humans ready to give you lots of attention. Make sure you get down there!
