About Queen Elizabeth Reserve
Off-Leash Dog Enclosure at Queen Elizabeth Reserve
Queen Elizabeth Reserve has a fully fenced off-leash dog enclosure that is open around the clock. The enclosure is a single shared space for dogs of all sizes, and the reserve has no separate small dog area. The unfenced sports oval is also off-leash from 4pm to 10am daily, but that access stops immediately when organised sport begins, so dogs must go back on the lead. Tension between sports users and dog owners is a known issue at Queen Elizabeth Reserve, so the fenced enclosure is the more reliable option during the day.
