Buckingham Dog Park

Buckingham Dog Park is an off-leash green space on Buckingham Drive in residential Dubbo, an open, largely unfenced run rather than a sealed yard. It suits a dog with reliable recall who wants room to stretch on natural grass close to home.

The rules. Dogs are off-leash within the designated area but must stay under voice control at all times, which matters here because the borders are open rather than fenced. Bring your own bags and bin the waste. Off-leash is not permitted on sporting ovals or other non-designated parks. Make sure your dog is fully vaccinated and sociable before letting it loose.

What is there. A large natural grass area, basic seating and waste bins. Unlike the fenced South Dubbo Park, it does not have agility equipment or a dedicated water station, so bring your own water and bowl.

Getting there. Buckingham Drive, in the South-East Dubbo residential area, reached via arterial roads like Wheelers Lane. On-street parking runs along Buckingham Drive. A car is the practical way in.

Nearby with the dogs. The Dubbo CBD cafes with outdoor seating are a short drive, and pet-friendly accommodation including the NRMA Dubbo Holiday Park is within easy reach.

Quietest on weekday mid-mornings and early afternoons. Weekends and the early-morning and late-afternoon weekday windows draw the regulars. Good for dogs with solid recall who do not need a fence.
