About Deakin Park
Off-Leash Dog Area at Deakin Park
Deakin Park has a fully fenced off-leash dog area on Beaconsfield Street that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The area is enclosed by 1.2-metre chain-link fencing with two gated pedestrian entrances. Wide, level turf covers the running space, and a permanent council agility course sits apart from it, with an A-frame ramp with non-slip slats, an arched crawl tunnel, jump hurdles and weave poles. A council drinking station with a ground-level dog bowl stands on a concrete pad near the canal fence, and the dog area has no floodlights.
Playground and Shade at Deakin Park
Deakin Park has a playground with a slide whose entrance is set high above the ground, so children need to climb to reach the start of it. Mature gum trees give shade across the park, and the open grass lets visitors walk the length of the reserve. Benches sit in the shade of the trees near the playground, which makes the park's shaded areas easy to find.
