Background information
Council received a number of community requests for a fenced off-leash dog area at Chadwick Reserve.
As part of Council’s redevelopment of Chadwick Reserve, the existing off-leash dog area will be transformed into a 3000 square metre enclosed dog park (please see concept plan and images in the Documents library to the right), featuring:
new granitic sand and grass areas
dog agility equipment
dog litter bag dispensers
shelter, seating, bins and drinking fountains
new trees and shrubs.
The project will also provide new concrete paths to connect to the shared use path along the Mordialloc Bypass to the main oval and to the surrounding streets, Albert Place and Torquay Close.
In accordance with Council’s Urban Cooling Strategy (2020), this project will also include the planting of over 300 new trees in the areas immediately surrounding the off-leash dog park.
Council consulted with the community on the new off-leash dog area in November 2021. Thank you to all who provided feedback.
Key issues raised were:
Parking in Torquay Close
Creating a separate fenced area for small dogs
Your input helped shape the final version of the concept plan, which addresses these concerns.
The plan was approved at Kingston's 20 December 2021 Council Meeting.
The final plan can be found in the Documents library on the right-hand side of this page.

We’re adding new facilities to Chadwick Reserve in response to community feedback.
Concrete path connection (Howard Rd to Chadwick Reserve playground) A new concrete path, connecting Howard Rd footpath to the playspace and existing reserve path network is scheduled for delivery April 2023. This project will improve connectivity and safety throughout Chadwick Reserve.
Landscape and amenities upgrade With recent pavilion construction completed, the final stage of reserve improvements will now include a BBQ and shelter installation, additional park furniture, garden beds, planting and turf around picnic area. These upgrades will help support users of the local sporting club and encourage wider community use of the reserve. Landscape and amenity works are scheduled to be completed June 2023.
Thank you for your patience as we finalise the upgrades for the reserve.
