Sherwood dog park

Sherwood dog park, also known as Thomas Street Off-Leash Area, sits at 134 Thomas St in Sherwood. It is a simple, open-field off-leash space with a quiet, local feel, making it a solid choice for shy dogs or a calmer walk than the larger, partly off-leash Sherwood Arboretum on Jolimont Street.

The rules. The designated off-leash area is not fully fenced, so dogs must be under effective voice control at all times. Horses use adjacent areas, and you are required to keep your dog strictly under control around them. Always pick up after your dog.

What's there. Expect partial shade and a shelter with seating for owners. There is no reliable on-site water, so bring your own supply.

Getting there. Street parking is available on Thomas Street, accessed off Sherwood Road. It is also a short walk from Sherwood Train Station on the Ipswich/Rosewood line.

When to go. Weekend mornings and late afternoons draw the regulars for a social run. Outside those windows the park is generally quiet, which suits owners looking for a low-traffic visit.
