Lota Dog Park

Lota Dog Park at 50 Andrew St, Lota is a fully fenced, off-leash park divided into separate zones for large and small dogs. The twin-area setup and spacious grass runs are the defining reasons it draws a loyal crowd of regular locals.

The rules. Dogs may be off-leash inside the fenced areas only. The surrounding park and creek boardwalk require dogs to stay on-leash at all times. Owners must supervise their dogs continuously, keep them well-behaved during peak periods, and pick up immediately after them. Waste bins are provided on-site.

What's there. Two designated, fully fenced areas split large and small dogs so each group has room to run on well-maintained grass. The large-dog side has a gazebo for shade, and both sides benefit from established shade trees. Water stations are available for dogs, along with some agility equipment for active play and seating for owners. The park sits adjacent to a children's playground, a basketball hoop, and a creek boardwalk. The entrance and nearby parking are wheelchair-accessible.

Getting there. The address is 50 Andrew St, Lota, QLD 4179. Driving is straightforward via Andrew St, with parking available near the entrance. If you are coming by train on the Manly West railway line, the nearest stations are Lota or Manly.

Nearby with the dogs. Manly is only a short trip away and pairs well with a park visit. Check out Manly Off-leash Dog Beach for a saltwater run, or grab a coffee at Andonis Cafe & Bar, Manly or Cooper's Speciality Coffee and Tap House.

When to go. Mid-week mornings or early afternoons are the quietest slots. Weekday and weekend late afternoons are peak times, and warm-weather afternoons bring mosquitoes, so pack repellent if you are visiting late in the day. Good for owners who want a reliable, well-maintained fenced park with separate zones and a sociable local scene.
