Dog off-leash areas (dog parks)

Brisbane City Council provides over 150 dog off-leash areas (commonly known as 'dog parks') in parks across Brisbane. Off-leash areas are generally fenced. Dogs can run, exercise, and socialise leash-free with other dogs and dog park visitors.

Dog off-leash areas include facilities such as seating, water, dog waste bins, and some shaded areas.

Some dog parks also include agility equipment for agility drills and shelters for dog park visitors.

Raymond Park, Kangaroo Point

Council will be upgrading the dog off-leash area by replacing the existing wire mesh fencing, expanding the concrete footpath on the western entrance, and installing porous paving in the north-western corner of the dog-off leash area. The project will commence on Monday, 30 May 2022 and is estimated to be completed by mid June 2022, weather and site conditions permitting.

Fairfield Park, Fairfield

Council is upgrading the dog off-leash area by installing a new small dog off-leash area with new equipment, as well as upgrading the existing entrances to the area including concreting, fencing, landscaping and new bins. 

This project will start on Monday 23 May and is scheduled to be completed by late-July 2022 (weather permitting).

There will be no public access to the dog off-leash area while the construction is taking place. 

Please check the map below to find your nearest dog-off leash area while these parks are being upgraded.
