Townsville Main Dog Park

This listing covers the fully-fenced off-leash dog park on Kimball St in Aitkenvale, on the banks of the Ross River. It is the same council-run fenced park known locally as Rossiter Park, and it is the main fenced off-leash facility serving the Aitkenvale area.

The rules. Dogs must be leashed in the car park and surrounding open parkland, and can only run off-leash once inside the fenced area. Keep dogs under voice control at all times, pick up and bin waste, and remove any dog showing aggression toward others.

What's there. Secure perimeter fencing, water access, shade from mature trees, and small agility equipment for active dogs. The broader park has toilets, a playground and BBQs nearby.

Getting there. Address is 3-43 Kimball St, Aitkenvale QLD 4814, with on-site parking including an accessible bay. Weekend afternoons are the busiest time for parking.

When to go. Weekday mornings are quietest; Sunday and Monday afternoons draw the biggest crowds. Good for dogs that enjoy a social, well-attended fenced run close to the river.
