Fairhaven Place Dog Park

Fairhaven Place Dog Park is a small neighbourhood off-leash spot tucked into a residential pocket of Albany Creek, off Fairhaven Place. It is the quick, local option rather than a destination park, handy when you just need somewhere close to let the dog stretch out.

The rules. Dogs can be off-leash in the designated area under effective voice control. Clean up after your dog and follow the on-site signage, as council rules and any leash zones can change. Confirm the current boundary and whether it is fully fenced on the day, as listings differ on this.

What's there. An open grassed area to run, some treed shade and bench seating. Lighting is limited, so it is best used in daylight. Bring your own water bowl. Locals note it can be prone to seasonal flooding, so it is worth checking after heavy rain.

Getting there. It is reached via quiet residential streets off Albany Creek Road, with limited street parking on Fairhaven Place.

When to go. Weekday mornings and evenings are quiet; Saturday mornings are the social peak. If it is too busy or waterlogged, the larger fenced parks on Leitchs Road are a short drive away.
