Morris Reserve Dog Off Leash Area on Brentwood Avenue in Pascoe Vale South is a substantial green wedge running parallel to the Tullamarine Freeway. Despite the location, sound barriers make it surprisingly quiet. It features large unfenced ovals bordered by residential fences.

Dog Park Features & Amenities
For the Dogs
- Massive Area: The ovals are large enough for serious ball throwing or frisbee.
- Water: Drinking water is available for dogs near the car park.
- Poop Issue: Locals frequently complain about uncollected waste (“a bit poopy”). Watch your step.
For the Humans
- Bins: Rubbish bins are available near the car park.
- No Toilets: There are no public toilets onsite.
- No Bags: No poop bags dispensed.
Insider Tip: While technically unfenced, the combination of residential fences on one side and the freeway sound wall on the other creates a relatively contained “corridor” feel, which is safer than an open oval on a busy road.
The Final Verdict
Morris Reserve is a great utility space for a big run. It’s not pretty, and the poop situation is annoying, but if you need vast open grass without crossing major roads, it works well. Good for a high-energy burnout.
