Kinkuna Park Fenced Dog Park

Kinkuna Park Fenced Dog Park sits on Impressions Drive in the Allara estate, offering two separate fully fenced off-leash areas, one of which is set aside for small dogs. It's one of the better-equipped dog parks in the northern corridor, with agility obstacles alongside the usual sand pit and water station.

The rules. Dogs can run off-leash inside the fenced areas, but must be leashed in the surrounding parkland. Use the double-entry gates and make sure they're shut behind you before letting your dog off. Supervision by someone 16 or older is required, and any dog showing aggression should be removed straight away.

What's there. Two separated fenced zones (handy if you've got a small or nervous dog), a water station, shaded seating, sand for digging, and a few training obstacles for active dogs. Bins and bag dispensers are on site, though it's worth carrying spares.

Getting there. The park is on Impressions Drive in Eglinton's Allara estate, just off Marmion Avenue. Free street parking is available right beside the park, and it's close enough to walk from most of the surrounding streets.

Nearby with the dogs. The Amberton Beach Bar & Restaurant is a short drive away and allows dogs in its outdoor alfresco area overlooking the ocean.

Sunday mornings and evenings, plus Thursday afternoons, are the busiest times. Tuesday afternoons tend to be the quietest if your dog needs a calmer visit.
