Dianella Fenced Dog Park

Dianella Fenced Dog Park is a fully fenced, free off-leash park inside the Dianella Regional Open Space at 568 Light Street, Dianella. Managed by the City of Stirling, its defining feature is the split into two separate, secure enclosures - one for small dogs and one for large or energetic dogs - giving owners a controlled environment for exercise and socialisation without the worry of roaming.

The rules. Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the fenced area and can be off-leash once inside. A competent person must supervise at all times and maintain effective control. Use the enclosure that matches your dog's size. Pick up waste immediately - dog poo bins are provided on site but bring your own bags as backup. Any dog showing aggression must be removed straight away.

What's there.

• Two secure, separately fenced enclosures - small dogs and large/energetic dogs.
• Agility equipment in the large enclosure.
• Mature shade trees, with a mix of grassed and sandy patches underfoot.
• Water taps, fountains and troughs for dogs, plus a drink fountain confirmed by visitors.
• Shaded benches and picnic tables.
• Dog poo bins on site.
• Toilets available in the broader Regional Open Space.

Getting there. The park is within Dianella Regional Open Space, with ample free parking including accessible bays. Bus routes run along Alexander Drive nearby if you are coming by public transport.

Nearby with the dogs. Inglewood Fenced Dog Park is another fenced option nearby if you want a change of scene. For off-leash open space, Dog Swamp Reserve in Yokine is a short drive away. If you are after a post-walk coffee, Finlay & Sons in Inglewood and Mid-Century Cafe and Collectables in Yokine both welcome dogs.

When to go. Weekday mornings are the quiet window - ideal for timid dogs or focused training away from the crowd. Weekend mornings and afternoons draw the biggest numbers, and weekday late afternoons bring out an active social group. If your dog is still building confidence with others, the small-dog enclosure on a quiet weekday morning is the easiest starting point.
