Hollydell Park in Trafalgar is a small, fenced dog park ideal for locals wanting a safe spot to let their dogs off-leash. The park features a water fountain catering to both dogs and owners, plus several benches for a quick rest.

⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Dog-Friendly Fun for Your Furry Mates 🐾

Hollydell Park is a top spot for dog owners wanting a safe, fenced area where their pups can run free and meet other dogs. The park is small but well thought out, with a water fountain that serves both dogs and their humans—a real bonus on a hot day. While the dogs might get a bit bored due to limited play features, it’s still a cracking place for a quick off-leash run and socialising. Just keep an eye out for muddy patches in winter and bring some wipes for your mate’s paws!

Chill Out Spots with Benches and Water 💧

There are five benches scattered around Hollydell Park, giving owners a chance to sit down and keep an eye on their dogs while having a yarn with other locals. The water fountain is a standout feature, thoughtfully designed for both dogs and people to stay hydrated. However, shade is pretty scarce at the moment, so it can get quite hot during the arvo. Many reviewers hope for some shelter or trees to grow for better shade in the future, making it a more comfortable spot to relax on warmer days.

Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️

Several reviewers mentioned the lack of shade at Hollydell Park, which can make it uncomfortable during hot days. The park also gets very muddy in winter, so be prepared for some mess on your dog’s paws. Another common point is that some dog owners don’t always clean up after their pets, so bringing bags and encouraging others to do the same helps keep the park tidy. A few locals suggested adding a dog gym or more play features to keep the dogs entertained longer.

💬 What Visitors Are Saying

  • It's a small fenced dog park with all the facilities close to Trafalgar town center.
  • Great small dog park
  • There’s a water fountain that caters for both the dogs and their owners which is lovely!
  • Nice, but not enough shade. Was quite hot the day I went with my dogs and we had to leave because of no shaded areas to sit and relax.
  • Very muddy but the dogs loved it
  • My dogs got bored real quick. Nothing for them to do there.
  • Hollydell Park is a fantastic use of this space. The fenced off dog park could’ve been a little bigger considering the amount of land that was available but none the less it is a great idea.
  • There are 5 benches for people to sit on and in future some sort of shelter would be perfect especially for in summer.
  • Good chance for dogs to go off leash and meet other dogs ☺️
  • Recent discovery. Great dog park. People are, however, lazy and not cleaning up after their dogs.
