Dog access and responsible visits

Off-leash access applies only in the signed area. Shared paths, playgrounds and busy foreshore sections require close control.

Check before every visit. Council rules, temporary closures and event restrictions can change. Signs at the park take priority over this guide.

Meeting another PawPal safely

Use PawPal messages to agree on a public meeting point and start with a parallel leashed walk. Do not publish a home address, phone number or a dog's precise routine.
