Priestdale Road Fenced Dog Park

Priestdale Road Fenced Dog Park is a small, fully fenced off-leash area on Priestdale Road in Rochedale South, part of the wider Priestdale Park complex. It is a straightforward local option: double-gated entry, shade trees, and enough grass and gravel to let a dog run properly, though it is on the smaller side compared to some neighbouring parks.

The rules. Dogs must stay on a leash until safely through the double gates and inside the fenced area, and must be under the control of someone 16 or older at all times. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs; bins are provided on site.

What's there. Bench seating, ample natural shade, a dog water station, and waste bags and bins. The mix of grass and gravel holds up reasonably well, though like any busy fenced park it can get patchy after rain.

Getting there. It sits directly off Priestdale Road at 537-553 Priestdale Road, easy to find by GPS. On-site parking is limited, so allow a few extra minutes at busy times. Local Translink bus routes serve the wider Rochedale South area, with a short walk from surrounding residential streets.

Nearby with the dogs. Roundabout Espresso, Coffee in the Woods and Pour First are all a short drive away for a coffee afterwards.

When to go. Weekday mornings and mid-afternoons are quietest. Weekend mornings from 6 to 8am and afternoons from 4 to 6pm draw the biggest crowds. Bring your own water as a backup even though a station is on site, and good for owners after a compact, no-fuss run rather than a long ramble.
