Nillumbik is the perfect place to own a pet with the beautiful open spaces and parks to walk them in. As a part of the Eltham Lower Park upgrade, and in support of the Domestic Animal Management Plan 2021-2025, a dedicated off-leash dog park will be built on part of the Eltham Lower Park equestrian arena. This will also see some upgrades to fencing and facilities for the equestrian arena.
A concept plan was shared with the community to provide feedback in late 2023. The community’s response has helped shape the final design.

The new dog park is being funded as part of a $2 million commitment by the Federal Member for Jagajaga Kate Thwaites MP through the Federal Government’s Investing in Our Communities Program.
Works have commenced on the concrete path works inside the dog park. Once complete, new seating will be installed.
The gravel car park will be re-graded to provide a smoother entry and exit to the park, along with dedicated disabled parking at the dog park entry.
These works are expected to be completed by mid June. The dog park will be closed while works occur.
