Bundilla Fenced Dog Park

Bundilla Fenced Dog Park sits on Atkins Drive in Fannie Bay, right alongside Bundilla Beach, with separate fenced sections for large and small dogs so off-leash time does not turn into a size mismatch.

The rules. Dogs must stay on-leash on the open beach and foreshore, but can run off-leash inside the fenced park itself. Owners are expected to stay inside the park and keep their dog under voice control, and any dog showing aggression should be leashed and removed straight away. Bag up and use the waste stations provided.

What's there. Both the large-dog and small-dog sections have their own fencing, plus shaded spots and picnic tables for owners. There is a water station for dogs and humans, and the surrounding reserve adds public toilets, a barbecue area and a children's playground, so a family trip and a dog trip can happen at the same time.

Getting there. The entrance is on Atkins Drive, Fannie Bay, with parking along the street near the Bundilla Beach car park, including accessible spaces. Local bus routes run along East Point Road, a short walk from the park.

Weekdays are quieter than weekends, and mornings before 9am or evenings after 5pm beat the tropical heat. The fenced yard itself is usable regardless of tide, which makes it a reliable fallback when the foreshore is underwater.
