Pimpama Fenced Dog Park

The Pimpama Fenced Dog Park on Mount Royal Street is a fully enclosed off-leash area open 24/7, which makes it a reliable option for early-morning or after-dark runs when an open oval feels too risky. It is a straightforward, community-minded space with room to run rather than a facility-heavy park.

The rules. Dogs can be off-leash once inside the fence, but you need to keep them under voice control and supervised the whole time. Use the double-gated entry properly - let one gate latch before opening the next - so nothing slips out. Make sure your dog is vaccinated and sociable before turning them loose with the regulars.

What's there. The area is fully fenced with a fresh water station, shaded seating and ample parking close by. The entrance and parking are wheelchair accessible.

Getting there. It is an easy run off the Pacific Motorway (M1) at Exit 49, with parking on Mount Royal Street, and close to Ormeau, Coomera and Willow Vale. Local buses serve Pimpama, but driving in is simplest with a dog.

Weekday mornings and early afternoons are the quiet windows. Weekend afternoons and early weekday evenings draw the biggest crowds, so pick a mid-week slot if your dog prefers a calmer group.
