Boeing Reserve Dog Off Leash Area on Boeing Road in Strathmore Heights is a huge, long stretch of green that is great for a walk. Boeing Reserve runs right along the Moonee Ponds Creek trail and offers heaps of space, though you do have to cross a few roads to get to the different sections.
Boeing Reserve: At a Glance
- ✈️ The Vibe: Wide open spaces. It’s huge, flat, and feels like it goes on forever.

Dog Park Features & Amenities
For the Dogs
- Space: The sheer length of the reserve is its best feature. You can walk for ages without running out of grass.
- Water Weirdness: The water tap is located in the southern section, while the main off-leash dog area is often considered the northern section. You might have to cross a road to get a drink. Bring a bottle to be safe.
- Creek Trail: Runs alongside the park, popular with cyclists. Keep dogs from wandering onto the path.
For the Humans
- Toilets: Public toilets are available onsite.
- Sports Facilities: The reserve includes baseball and cricket facilities, so it can get busy on game days.
- No Bags: No poop bags supplied.
Insider Tip: Because the reserve is split by roads, be careful when moving between the different grassy sections. It’s easy to get complacent because of the open space, but cars do cut through.
The Final Verdict
Boeing Reserve is a great spot if you want distance. It’s not a contained “park” so much as a landscape. If you want to walk a few kilometres with the dog off-lead, this is the place. Just watch the road crossings.
