Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026.
Off-leash means what the council order says it means, and the sign at the gate settles it. This page covers five parks in and around Keilor, across Keilor, Keilor Downs, Taylors Lakes and Keilor East.
Four come from Brimbank Council’s off-leash dog parks list, and each entry gives the official status first. The fifth, Brimbank Park, is run by Parks Victoria, where dogs must stay on a lead.
We have not guessed any off-leash times. Where a time matters, check the council order. Bring bags.

Caroline Chisholm Park — Old Calder Highway, Keilor VIC 3036

The council table shows no enclosure, fountain or agility ticks for it.

Green Gully Reserve Dog Park — Green Gully Road, Keilor Downs VIC 3038
Status: listed as off-leash by Brimbank Council, at Green Gully Road, Keilor Downs, east of McCrae Blvd. The council table gives it a tick in all three columns: fully or partially enclosed, dog drinking fountain and agility equipment. Per council, its dog parks have poo bag dispensers and bins. The council also says dogs must be on a lead near children’s play areas unless the area is signed off-leash.
Bring: a lead for the stretches near play areas, as the council requires there unless signed off-leash.
Keilor Downs Recreation Reserve — 30 Belmont Avenue, Keilor Downs VIC 3038
Status: listed as an off-leash dog park by Brimbank Council, at Belmont Avenue, Keilor Downs. The council table marks no enclosure, fountain or agility ticks for this one. That is the plainest entry on the page, as listed. We found no more detail, so check the council order for times.
Off-leash status: council-listed, with no fountain tick in the table, so carry your own water.
Pintail Park — Taylors Lakes 3038 (Kings/Robertson Rd power easement), Taylors Lakes VIC 3038
Status: the council lists the Kings/Robertson Rd power easement, including Pintail Park but excluding the soccer grounds, as off-leash, in Taylors Lakes. The table gives it a tick in the first column, fully or partially enclosed. OpenStreetMap tags the park dog=yes. The council does not give an exact street address.
Off-leash status: the council’s off-leash listing excludes the soccer grounds, so keep the lead on there.
Brimbank Park — Keilor Park Drive, Keilor East VIC 3033
Status: on lead. Parks Victoria says “Dogs are permitted in many areas at Brimbank Park and must be kept on a leash at all times.” The page lists over 10km of tracks with the Maribyrnong River Trail, and says most paths are sealed. It also lists an abundance of wildlife, including kangaroos and echidnas, and carries a snake warning.
Inside or outside only: Parks Victoria says dogs are not allowed within the Kulin Wetlands and playgrounds, and we could not find a published dogs-inside rule for the cafe.
