Yarra City Council, in partnership with the Victorian Government, is upgrading the dog off-leash area at Quarries Park. This upgrade responds to the actions recommended for the suburb of Clifton Hill in the Yarra Open Space Strategy (2020).

Quarries Park is a local open space, sporting precinct and a place for social gatherings. This upgrade will provide the community with an improved dog off-leash area and a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy.

By improving the dog off-leash area and surrounding parkland we're aiming to:

  • establish a safer, more welcoming and inclusive space for all park users as well as dogs and their owners
  • further foster social connections and improve the mental and physical well-being of all park users
  • strengthen the biodiversity corridor linkages from the Merri Creek and Yarra River systems
  • help mitigate the heat island effect and create a more comfortable environment on site

Draft Concept Plan

We asked for your feedback on the draft Concept Plan, to help us finalise the design.

The map below shows some of the proposed improvements to the dog off-leash area.
