Martin Reserve Fenced Dog Park

Martin Reserve Fenced Dog Park is a fenced, off-lead reserve in West Footscray, Melbourne, where dogs can roam and play without leaving the designated area. The whole reserve is set aside for off-lead use, making it a straightforward option for local dog owners looking for open space.

The reserve has seating for owners and handlers, with many trees providing shade across the open space. A drinking fountain is also listed among the park’s facilities. These practical features make it suited to people who want to stay nearby and supervise their dogs while they exercise and socialise.

Owners and handlers are expected to supervise their dogs at all times. Dogs showing aggressive, threatening or socially unacceptable behaviour must be removed from the reserve immediately. Located at 91–109 Essex Street, Martin Reserve is a purpose-specific dog park rather than a general picnic destination.
