Capalaba Regional Park Fenced Dog Park

Capalaba Regional Park Fenced Dog Park at 111 Tyberry Street in Chandler is a large, fully enclosed off-leash space where dogs can properly stretch their legs without you watching the perimeter. It sits inside the wider regional park, so playgrounds, BBQs and walking tracks are all close at hand.

The dog setup

The enclosure is fully fenced with secure gates at each end. Watch the gates when other owners come and go, because a distracted dog can slip through while you are leashing up. Standard council rules apply inside: stay in the enclosure with your dog, keep them under voice control, leash up before stepping out onto the wider park trails, and clean up with the bags and bins provided. Water stations and bowls are on site, though there is no natural water for swimming.

Pepsi: skip this one right after a downpour. The mulch near the gates turns to soup and the bath happens before the car ride home.

Worth knowing

There is no separate small dog section, so toy breeds and timid dogs mix with the big crowd, and that can be a lot for a quiet dog. Mature trees shade the seating areas and summer visits are manageable, but some open sections sit fully in the sun and the high-traffic ground near the gates and water stations goes muddy after rain. Scan the trees before you unleash: koalas move through this part of Brisbane, and unsupervised children should stay out of the active off-leash zone.

Getting there and parking

The dedicated car park on Tyberry Street makes access straightforward, right at the fence line. Early mornings and late afternoons are the sweet spots, dodging both the heat and the post-rain mud.

Make a day of it

If the mix of dogs is too much for yours, the Gundagai Drive Park fenced dog park in Capalaba is the nearby alternative with separated enclosures. Afterwards, the Koala Tavern is a relaxed dog-friendly drink a short drive away, and Grumpy & Lovely Cafe covers the coffee run on the way back through Tingalpa.
