Mount Sheridan Off Leash area

Open off-leash on George Cannon Drive. Mount Sheridan Off Leash Area is a large, grassy, unfenced exercise space on George Cannon Drive, Mount Sheridan, QLD. It is an open suburban paddock suited to running and ball games, with off-leash permitted inside the clearly signed zone. No fencing means this area is best for dogs with reliable recall.

Rules. Dogs must be leashed outside the signed off-leash boundary and under effective voice control even when off-leash. Pick up all dog waste - Cairns Regional Council issues on-the-spot fines up to $834 for offences. Dogs are not permitted in prohibited areas such as playgrounds and some conservation zones.

Getting there. Access is via surrounding residential streets, with roadside parking typically available. There is no formal transit link. Bring your own water - bowls are not guaranteed on site - and note that shade varies and is limited in parts. For a fully fenced alternative nearby, see Edmonton Dog Park.

When to go. The site is elevated and inland, so it is not tide-affected, but it gets muddy after rain - visit once the ground has dried. Quietest mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays; busier early morning, late afternoon, and weekends.
