Inala Dog Park

The lead. Inala Dog Park is a large, fully fenced off-leash area in Inala, giving local dogs a secure space to run and socialise. It is grassy, gated and popular with residents, and it sits within the same reserve network as Kev Hooper Park, so treat it as one of Inala's main enclosed off-leash spots.

The rules. Dogs go off-leash only inside the fenced area and must stay under effective voice control. Carry a lead, keep your dog in sight, and pick up after it. Waste bags and bins are provided, but bring your own bags as backup. Any dog showing aggression should be leashed and taken home. Double-gated entries help stop escapes, so latch the gate behind you.

What's there. The area is fully fenced with bench seating for owners, dog water and rubbish bins. There is some tree shade, though it can be limited in spots, so pack a water bowl on hot days.

Getting there. The park is part of the Inala reserve network off the local street grid, with parking usually available near the entrance and local bus routes running along nearby main streets. If your maps app is unclear, searching "Kev Hooper Memorial Park" points you to the same off-leash precinct.

When to go. It is busiest on weekday mornings, late afternoons and weekends. For a quieter run, aim for mid-day or a weekday afternoon. Good for dogs that need a secure fence and a bit of social time.
