Curlew Park Fenced Dog Park

Curlew Park Fenced Dog Park is a fully fenced off-leash park at 92 Curlew Street, Sandgate, with separate sections for large and small dogs. The fencing is the reason to come: it is a secure spot to let a dog run when you would rather not rely on recall, set just back from the bayside.

The rules. The area is fully fenced for off-leash running, but you are responsible for supervising your dog at all times. Clean up after your dog using the supplied bins, and remove any dog that turns aggressive. The split fencing lets small dogs play away from larger, more boisterous ones.

What's there. Gazebos and benches for owners, mature shade trees, and waste bins. The on-site water supply can be unreliable, so bring your own bowl and water. A children's playground and sports fields sit alongside the park.

Getting there. Access is off Curlew Street with street parking nearby. It is a short walk from the Sandgate foreshore and Shorncliffe Pier, and within reach of Sandgate Station and local buses, though expect a walk from the station.

Nearby with the dogs. The Sandgate foreshore and its dog-friendly cafes are a short stroll away, so you can pair a fenced run with a waterfront coffee. The off-leash beach at Sandgate Foreshore Park is close by for a tide-dependent change of scene.

When to go. Weekend mornings are the social peak; a weekday morning is quieter and more relaxed. Good for dogs still learning recall or small dogs who want their own space.
