South Boulder Dog Exercise Area

South Boulder Dog Exercise Area is a fenced, off-leash park on Vivian Street in South Boulder, open 24 hours and popular with local dog owners for its size and upkeep. It is a straightforward run-around rather than a destination park, but it does the job well.

The rules. Dogs can be off-leash inside the fenced area but must stay under effective voice control and recall at all times. Clean up after your dog and use the provided bins. Leash up again once you leave the designated area, as surrounding streets are on-lead only.

What's there. The park has open grassed space with some shade trees, water taps (supply can be patchy, so bring a bowl to be safe), and dog-waste bags and bins, though packing your own bags is a sensible backup.

Getting there. The park is at 144 Vivian St, South Boulder, with on-street parking near the entrance. It sits within a residential pocket of South Boulder, so it is an easy walk for locals rather than a drive-to destination.

Nearby with the dogs. Discovery Parks - Boulder, a pet-friendly caravan park, is a short drive away if you are travelling through the Goldfields with a dog, and the BIG4 Kalgoorlie Boulder Holiday Park is about five to ten minutes away for anyone needing accommodation nearby.

Early morning and after 4pm are the busiest times as locals bring dogs before or after work. Weekday middays are quieter if your dog prefers the place to itself.
