Valantine Park Fenced Dog Park

Valantine Park Fenced Dog Park on Valantine Road is a fully fenced off-leash area with separate zones for small and large dogs, set in a leafy, well-shaded corner of Birkdale. It has a reputation locally as one of the cleaner, better-kept fenced parks in the Redlands, with mature trees giving decent shade for most of the day.

The rules. Dogs must stay leashed in the car park and on the paths leading in, and can run off-leash once inside the fenced area. Owners need to stay inside the fence with their dog in sight and under control at all times. Clean up after your dog immediately, bins and bag dispensers are provided. Use the small-dog or large-dog area that matches your dog's size.

What's there. A double-gate airlock entry keeps the park secure while dogs are coming and going. There is a water tap and bowls, shaded shelter seating for owners, and a playground and disc golf course in the surrounding parkland if you want to make a longer stop of it.

Getting there. On-street parking runs along Valantine Road. Local bus routes serve the Birkdale and Alexandra Hills area, and the park is walkable from nearby streets.

When to go. Weekday mornings are the quietest time here. Weekend mornings and weekday late afternoons after work draw the biggest crowds. Confirm current hours on-site signage, as they can change.
