Brassall dog park

Brassall dog park sits at 1A Hunter Street and is listed by Ipswich City Council as a designated off-leash area, also known locally as Battye Park. It is a fully fenced, double-gated space that gives local dogs a proper off-leash run without the risk of a bolt to the road.

The rules. Dogs must stay leashed until you are through the double-gated entrance and inside the fenced area, and owners need voice control over their dog once off-leash. Council rules also require dogs to be registered and vaccinated. Supervise your dog at all times and keep the gates closed behind you, especially with children about.

What's there. The park is fully fenced with a water fountain and shaded seating. Free parking is available nearby, and waste bags are sometimes stocked but it pays to bring your own.

Getting there. The park is on local Brassall roads off Hunter Street, close to Ipswich bus routes, with on-site or street parking typically available.

Nearby with the dogs. Battye Park itself offers extra on-leash green space, and several cafes along Pine Mountain Road and in the Brassall Shopping Centre have outdoor seating, though it is worth checking each one's dog policy before you sit down.

Weekday late mornings and early afternoons tend to be quieter; expect more dogs from late afternoon and on weekends. If your dog is nervous around others, aim for the quiet window.
