Dog Park off leash

A fenced, off-leash dog park on Prosper Street in Howard, offering a secure space for dogs to run. Its location just off the Bruce Highway (A1) makes it a practical stop for travellers heading to or from Burrum Heads and the Fraser Coast.

The rules. Dogs must be under effective voice control even while off-leash. Owners are required to remove all dog waste immediately, with bags and bins provided on site. Gates should be closed on entry and exit, and any dog showing aggression toward people or other dogs must be removed straight away. A leash is required the moment you step outside the fenced boundary.

What's there. The park combines open running areas with a smaller fenced section, giving you options for both high-energy dogs and those needing a more contained space. Drinking water is available, and there is limited shaded seating for owners. The setting is quiet and rural.

Mid-morning and early afternoon are the quietest periods. It gets busier early in the day and again after 3pm. Being inland, the park is unaffected by tides and beach crowds, making it a reliable dry-weather option. If you're staying longer in the area, a pet-friendly hotel on William St offers outdoor seating, and a caravan ground on Howard Heights Rd allows pets with powered sites.
