    Dog-off leash areas provide opportunity for your dog to freely run and socialise with others. Some dog parks include agility equipment for drills and shelters for dog park visitors and their pets.

    Things to remember

    To protect local fauna and flora, keep dogs on a leash when visiting a bushland reserve and pick up after them.

    Dog owners need to register their pets with Brisbane City Council if they’re over three months old. Fees support key services that keep you and your dog safe when out and about.
