School Of Arts Rd Dog Parks

The School of Arts Road dog park at 153A School of Arts Road, Redland Bay, is a fully fenced off-leash area sitting alongside the local sporting fields. It is an open, well-lit space built for high-energy play, with airlock gates and a regular crowd that keeps the social side lively, and the lighting makes it one of the few local options that works after dark.

The dog setup

Inside the fence, dogs are off-leash under Redland City Council's fenced dog park rules: stay in the park with your dog, keep them under effective voice control with a reliable recall, and make sure the double-gated airlock entry is fully closed behind you before opening the second gate. Clean up straight away, with bins on site, and remember that declared dangerous or menacing dogs are not permitted in off-leash areas. If a dog turns aggressive, leash up and leave.

The ground is mostly open grass with limited natural shade, so summer visits are best early or late. Dog water fountains, bench seating, accessible parking and entry, and lighting for after-dark visits round out the facilities.

Max: airlock gates only work at full commitment. Let the first gate latch before you touch the second, every single time.

Getting there and parking

The park is on School of Arts Road next to the sporting fields, with accessible parking on site. It is a short drive from the Redland Bay foreshore, so pairing a run here with a leashed walk along the water is an easy double.

Worth knowing

Because the space is open and lit, it draws after-work and evening visitors year round, and the well-lit ground makes winter evening play practical. Bring water in the warmer months despite the fountains, and keep dogs away from the wildlife that moves through the neighbouring fields. Children need close supervision in a dog park environment, and the council is firm on that.

Pair it with

Redland Bay has other fenced options if this one is busy: Main Street Park in the Moogurrapum Creek corridor, or Point Talburpin on the waterfront with bay breezes. For a leashed cool-down, the flat foreshore Jack Gordon Pathway runs along the water's edge. For coffee, The Park Social and Blip Espresso both welcome dogs at their outdoor tables.
