One of the city’s most popular dog spots, with ocean views and room to roam.

A mix of open spaces and trails perfect for dogs of all sizes.

Mount Tolmie Park

Scenic views for humans, open areas for pups to explore.

Great for longer walks and runs, stretching beyond Victoria into surrounding areas.
