Devonport Dog Park

Devonport Dog Park at 260 Steele Street is a purpose-built, fully fenced off-leash exercise area next to the Splash Devonport Aquatic Centre car park. The secure perimeter and agility equipment make it a safe spot for a proper off-leash run and some socialising, whatever your dog's size.

The rules. Dogs must be registered, microchipped and vaccinated to use the park, and desexed unless you hold a permit. Keep your dog on-leash entering and exiting the enclosure, and under effective control once inside. Declared dangerous or restricted breeds are not permitted. Clean up after your dog and use the bins provided.

What's there. Secure perimeter fencing encloses the whole area, with agility equipment on-site for training and play, plus dog waste bins. It is a straightforward, well-set-up enclosure rather than a sprawling parkland.

Getting there. Drive to 260 Steele Street, near the aquatic centre, with free parking in the paved Splash car park right alongside. Local bus routes run along Steele Street and Tamar Street, leaving a short walk to the gate.

Nearby with the dogs. Central Devonport is a few minutes away, with pet-friendly cafes offering outdoor seating around Rooke Street and the Mersey River foreshore, and several pet-friendly places to stay within a short drive.

Quietest on weekday mornings and around midday, while late afternoons until dark and weekend mornings after 9:30 are the busiest. Good for a secure, fenced run when you want to let the leash off with confidence.
