Broadwood Dog Exercise Area

The basics. The Broadwood Dog Exercise Area is a large, open grassy field in Broadwood, on the edge of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in WA's Goldfields, set aside by the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder as a designated off-leash space. It's a quiet, local option rather than a destination park, well suited to a straightforward run and sniff without the crowds of the bigger city reserves.

The rules. Dogs can run off-leash inside the exercise area but must stay under effective voice control at all times, and need to be leashed on arrival and departure. Aggressive dogs must be removed immediately, and owners are required to clean up after their pets. Outside designated exercise areas like this one, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder requires dogs to be on-lead, particularly around playgrounds.

What's there. The site is reported to have fresh water taps, doggy bags and some shaded areas, though it's worth bringing your own water and bags as backup since on-site supplies at unstaffed exercise areas can run out.

Getting there. The area sits in Broadwood, WA 6430, reachable by car with on-site parking. For current boundaries or any local updates, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder rangers can be reached on 9021 9697 or by email.

When to go. Weekday mornings and evenings are typically the quietest times to have the space to yourselves. Good for dogs that just want an open run without a lot of foot traffic.
