Fenrir Riverwood Dog Park

Fenrir Riverwood Dog Park is a fully fenced, off-leash park at 8 Coleman Ct in Murrumba Downs, run by Moreton Bay Regional Council. It is a big, open, functional space under high-tension power lines rather than a landscaped park, which is exactly what makes it good for a proper run.

The rules. The area is off-leash within the fence line only. Owners must keep control of their dogs at all times, use the double-gated entry (an airlock system) so nothing slips out while you're getting the leash off, and pick up after your dog. Bring your own bags, since the park does not reliably supply them.

What's there. The park is divided into separate sections for large and small breeds, has a water station for dogs, basic seating for owners, and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. There is minimal to no natural shade, so it can get hot fast in summer.

Getting there. The park sits on suburban streets at 8 Coleman Ct, Murrumba Downs QLD 4503. Parking is limited and mostly on-street in this quiet residential pocket, so leave room for neighbours.

Nearby with the dogs. The Murrumba Downs and Kallangur shopping strips have cafes with outdoor seating that generally welcome well-behaved dogs, and Petrie or Strathpine (five to ten minutes' drive) have pet-friendly accommodation options if you need to stay over.

When to go. Sunday afternoons and evenings, Monday mornings, and Saturday mornings are the busiest. Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons are quieter if you want the run of the place. Good for high-energy dogs that want space more than shade.
