Kroll Gardens Fenced Dog Park

Kroll Gardens is one of the largest fully fenced off-leash dog parks on the Redcliffe Peninsula, spread across around five hectares off Duffield Road at Clontarf. If your dog needs real room to open up, this is the local benchmark: a football-field-sized main run, wooded sections for shade, and a separate fenced area for small or timid dogs.

The rules. The whole park is fenced and off-leash, so dogs can run once you are inside and the gate is shut. They must stay under effective voice control and come back when called. Check the gate closes behind you each time, pick up after your dog with the bagged bins provided, and take any dog showing aggression straight out. The separate small-dog enclosure is there if you want a calmer space.

What's there. An agility course near the Duffield Road entrance has tyres, ramps and pipes for a bit of structured play. There are water points for dogs, plenty of benches and shaded spots for owners, public toilets, and a free car park right beside the off-leash area with accessible parking and entry.

Getting there. Access is directly off Duffield Road, next to the waste transfer station, with the gravel car park adjoining the park. TransLink buses run along the nearby arterials such as Oxley Avenue, but a car or a local walk is the realistic way in.

Nearby with the dogs. Puk Espresso and Bramble Bay General on Hornibrook Esplanade are a short drive away for a coffee with the dog after a run.

Weekend mornings, roughly 8 to 10am, are the busiest and most social. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are quieter. The ground turns muddy after heavy rain, so keep a towel in the car. Good for high-energy dogs and for owners who want a fenced space that does not feel crowded even when it is busy.
