Riesenweber Park Fenced Dog Park

A fully fenced, 24/7 off-leash park in the heart of Jacobs Well. Riesenweber Park sits on Bay Drive and gives you a secure, enclosed dog run inside a wider recreation reserve with sports fields, a playground and a skate park. For a small bayside town, having a fenced off-leash area open around the clock is the drawcard, it takes the guesswork out of an early-morning or after-dark run.

The rules. The off-leash zone is the fenced area only. Keep your dog leashed as you enter, exit and move through the rest of Riesenweber Park, and under effective voice control at all times inside the enclosure. Standard City of Gold Coast conditions apply: pick up after your dog, and remove any dog showing aggression. Boundaries and conditions can change, so check the on-site signage as the final word.

What's there. The enclosure is securely fenced with a drinking fountain in the park and waste bags and bins on hand. Picnic shelters and seating sit nearby, and the wider reserve has toilets with disability access, a fitness station, a playground and sports fields if you're making a longer outing of it.

Getting there. The park is on Bay Drive with on-site parking. Public transport to Jacobs Well is limited, so driving is the practical option for most visitors.

Nearby with the dogs. Jacobs Well Tourist Park is a short drive for dog-friendly camping, and the town's dog-friendly cafes and the waterfront are close by for a coffee and a stroll afterwards.

When to go. Weekday mid-mornings and early afternoons are the quietest windows. Early mornings, late afternoons and weekend mornings draw the biggest crowds, so time your visit to the calm if your dog is anxious or still learning park manners.
