Barrett Street Park Fenced Dog Park

Barrett Street Park Fenced Dog Park sits within Bracken Ridge Reserve off Norris Road, a fully fenced off-leash area open 24 hours with room to roam and a mix of open grass and bushland.

The rules. Dogs must be under effective control at all times, and only handlers aged 12 or over can be in charge of a dog. Dangerous or restricted breeds are not permitted, and dogs in season should be left at home. Pick up after your dog. Bring your own bags to be safe.

What's there. Covered picnic tables and benches for owners, water available on site, and free parking right at the park. Lighting is minimal, so bring a torch if you're visiting after dark.

Getting there. Easiest by car via Norris Road, with plenty of free parking on site. Local Translink bus routes run along Norris Road if you're coming without a car.

Watch-outs. The bushland sections mean dogs with a strong prey drive should stay close, and the ground can get muddy after rain. Keep flea and tick prevention current given the natural surrounds.

Nearby with the dogs. Bill Brown Sports Reserve, Bracken Ridge's other fenced dog park, is a few minutes away, and the Sandgate Foreshore off-leash area and Sandgate's dog-friendly cafe strip are a short drive further out.
