Kamholtz Family Fenced Dog Park

Kamholtz Family Fenced Dog Park is a fenced, agility-focused off-leash park on Souter Street, open 24 hours, with a freshwater creek running nearby. It suits both high-energy dogs that want room to run and dogs that need the security of a contained space.

The rules. The main run is fenced, but dogs must still be under effective voice control and owners need to stay inside the enclosure with them. Check the gates and fence line for gaps before letting a bolter off. Waste bags and bins are provided and cleaning up is mandatory. A note on mixing: local feedback over the years has flagged tension when big and little dogs share the space, so read the crowd and manage your dog closely.

What's there. There is a fenced agility area, upgraded picnic tables (though seating is limited), and natural shade from established trees. There are no public toilets on site; nearby Swift Park in Nerang has toilets, a playground and barbecues if you need them.

The terrain. It is grass with tree cover, and it turns very muddy after rain. Bring a towel in the wet season, as the creek and churned ground will find your dog.

Getting there. Address is 2 Souter Street, reached by car with parking nearby. It sits in a residential pocket, so it is mostly a local walk-in or short drive rather than a transit destination. Nerang CBD, and its dog-friendly cafes, is about five minutes away.

When to go. It is busiest around 7-8am and 4-5pm. Mid-morning or early afternoon on a weekday is the calmest, and the driest underfoot. Good for confident runners and dogs working on recall in a secure space.
