Off leash play Travelling with your four legged friends? Dedicated dog parks are popping up throughout the Southern Riverina and northern Victoria, giving your dog the freedom of running without constraint - allowing them to play, sniff, chase, roll and romp to their heart’s content. And for you, the dog owner, it’s also a great chance for you to get some exercise, contribute to your own health and wellbeing, and meet other dog owners.

Moama Off-leash Dog Park
There is also a smaller fenced area inside the larger one, to separate smaller dogs from larger ones or dogs which may need to play separately.
The off-leash dog park in Moama has been a welcome addition to the Moama Recreation Reserve.
Federation Council:
It is a fully fenced, landscaped dog park adjacent to the old trotting track section of the reserve, on Perricoota Rd. The park has been designed in line with industry best practice and includes sensory landscapes, areas for obedience training and open areas for exploration. In response to recent community requests, the park’s ‘small dog area’ now also has an external access gate, at the western end of the site. This allows for those smaller, timid, nervous or ‘not as social’ dogs to enter and exit the site without having to interact with larger or more social animals.
