Dog-friendly Canterbury

Canterbury Gardens — A pleasant loop through a historic garden with mature trees, a rotunda, and open grassy areas. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.

Wattle Park — Expansive parkland featuring historic trams, picnic areas, and walking paths through bushland and open spaces. Off-lead applies in the signed sections; carry the lead anyway. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.

Gardiners Creek Trail — A paved shared path following Gardiners Creek, passing through natural bushland, sports fields, and under bridges. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. A coffee stop is never far on the way back.
