Clive McDermott Place Dog Park

The Dog Park at Clive McDermott Place is a designated off-leash area on Inala Avenue, giving local dogs a fenced, grassy space to run and socialise close to the heart of Inala. It is a friendly neighbourhood spot rather than a large destination park, handy for a quick daily walk or an after-work session.

The dog setup

Dogs may be off-leash only within the designated park boundaries, and owners must keep them in sight and under control at all times. Clean up after your dog and use the bins provided. Make sure dogs are healthy and socialised before visiting, and leash and remove any dog that shows aggression. The area is fenced with seating for owners and an accessible entrance.

Worth knowing

Some reports note a dog water station, but bring your own water and bowl to be safe. Shade is limited and the park can get hot in summer, so schedule around the heat. Because it is compact, a big session is not the point here; it is a top-up run between proper walks.

Getting there and parking

The park sits at 97 Inala Avenue, reached via Inala Avenue with residential street parking usually available nearby. Local bus routes service Inala Avenue and the surrounding roads, so it works without a car too.

While you're out there

For a bigger run, Inala Dog Park and the fenced enclosure at Kev Hooper Park are both in the suburb. Coffee options in Inala itself are thin on the ground for dogs; Canela Cafe in Darra is the closest listed dog-friendly stop.

When to go

Weekday mid-mornings from about 10 to 12 are usually quietest, while weekend mornings and weekday evenings after work are busiest. In summer, stick to early morning or late afternoon and keep your dog off the hot ground.
