Card Avenue Park Fenced Dog Park

Card Avenue Park is a fully fenced off-leash dog park in Manunda, a straightforward option if you want your dog running free without worrying about traffic or an unfenced boundary. It is a quieter, local spot rather than a destination park, which suits dogs that do better with fewer distractions.

The rules. Dogs can run off-leash inside the fenced area. Council standards require you to keep voice control over your dog and have them within sight at all times. Clean up after your dog using the bags and bins provided, and remove any dog showing aggressive behaviour straight away.

What's there. The park is fully enclosed, with mature trees giving reasonable shade, benches for owners, a water station for dogs, and waste bags and bins on site.

Getting there. The park is on Card Avenue, Manunda 4870. Street parking is generally available along Card Ave, and Sunbus stops on surrounding streets connect through to Cairns city, with a short walk in from the closest stop.

When to go. The park is rarely crowded, but early evenings midweek tend to be the busiest window. Mid-morning or early afternoon is usually the quietest, which makes it a solid choice for low-key socialising or a dog that needs space. Confirm current rules on site, as council signage can be updated.
