Delacombe Reserve Fenced Dog Park sits in the middle of a long grassed corridor under the powerlines in South Morang. The trade-off for that setting is space and a genuine agility circuit, with weave poles, jump hurdles and a ramped platform rather than one token obstacle. Council lists four ways in, so you can approach from Delacombe Drive, Allan Avenue, Ronald Avenue or Wilton Court.

- Fencing: Fully Fenced with double-gated entries.
- Parking: No dedicated car park. Street parking at whichever of the four access points suits you.
Dog Park Features & Amenities
For the Dogs
- Agility Circuit: Weave poles, jump hurdles and a ramped platform give you a real session to work through rather than a single token obstacle.
- Length to Run: The enclosure follows the easement, so there is a long uninterrupted stretch for dogs that want to open up.
- Drinking Water: A water tap with a bowl sits near the entrance. Visitors note the taps are not always working, so carry a bottle as backup.
For the Humans
- Seating Is Limited: What seating exists is mostly outside the fence, so bring a camp chair if you plan to stay.
- Very Little Shade: The plantings are young and the easement is open overhead. Midday visits in summer are worth avoiding.
- No Toilets: There are no public toilets at the fenced area.
Insider Tip: Pick your gate to suit the weather. The ground wears muddy in the well-used sections after rain, and because the run is long you can start from a different access point and keep your dog on firmer grass. Early morning and late afternoon are the comfortable windows here in summer, since there is almost nothing overhead to break the sun.
The Final Verdict
Delacombe Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the pick in South Morang if your dog needs a job rather than just a paddock. The agility gear is the real draw and the length of the run suits dogs with speed to burn. Shade, seating and working taps are the weak points, so time your visit and bring your own water and chair.
