Discover off-leash areas, dog beaches, and pet-friendly parks across all states and territories
Finding the right dog park can make all the difference in your pet's happiness and wellbeing. Whether you have an energetic Border Collie who needs room to run, a water-loving Labrador searching for the perfect dog beach, or a timid Chihuahua who requires a secure, fenced environment away from larger dogs, our comprehensive directory helps you discover exactly what you need.
Our interactive dog park finder covers every Australian state and territory, featuring detailed information about each location's amenities, off-leash hours, size, and real reviews from fellow dog owners. Use the filters below to search by fenced areas, beach access, agility equipment, small dog sections, and more. Stop wasting time on unsuitable parks and find your dog's new favourite spot today.
Finding the ideal dog park for your furry friend is simple with our interactive directory. Start by entering your suburb, city, or state in the search bar above. You can also use our filtering options to narrow down results based on specific requirements like fenced areas for dogs with unreliable recall, beach access for swimming enthusiasts, or dedicated small dog zones for petite pups who prefer playing with similarly-sized companions.
Each park listing includes comprehensive details: off-leash hours so you know when your dog can run free, available amenities like water stations and shade structures, surface type (grass or sand), and authentic reviews from our community of Australian dog owners. Click on any park card to view the full details and get directions via Google Maps.
Use our search bar to enter your suburb, postcode, or state name. The directory will instantly filter to show dog parks in your area. You can further refine results using the dropdown filters for features like fencing, beach access, parking, and agility equipment. Each result shows the park's location, rating, and key amenities at a glance.
We update our directory regularly to maintain accuracy, but off-leash regulations can change based on local council decisions, seasonal adjustments, or special events. We strongly recommend calling your local council or checking signage at the park entrance before allowing your dog off-leash, particularly for parks with time-restricted access or seasonal variations.
We're always expanding our database! Visit our Contact page and select "Submit a Dog Park" from the subject menu. Please include the park's name, full street address, known off-leash hours, and any amenities you've observed. Our team will verify the information and add it to the directory within a few business days.
